I love spending money, so its almost a given that I suck at saving money. It's something that brings me grief almost every paycheck - the number of things I want to buy seems outnumbers my bank balance and its a horrible struggle between my self control and my lack of control. So I've decided to take some positive action. And start actual savings. It's quite a nice relief in all honesty to have a budget again and to have to stick to it. And thinking up plans for you savings is quite rewarding - almost as fun as spending it on stuff (well not quite, but none of the guilt of buying another black top).
Current favourite options: Trip to Peru. New sunglasses. Trip to Australia. New car.

Running in the rain
One of those weeks where I've put my heart out on the line and I've got the wait time in the middle. I think running in the rain with a great friend perhaps one of the best things ever to do in the meantime.
Running makes you feel alive like nothing else.
I hardly ever enjoy rain these days. As a kid rain dancing and playing in the rain was a treat. Nowadays its the end of straight fringes, smudges of mascara and wet and soggy socks.
Purposefully going out the in the rain though, it gets out the cobwebs. Makes childhood come back alive. Clears out your brain. Makes the bath and book at the end so much more worth it!
