Thankfully they don't have debtors prisons anymore.

...or I'd be in one.
I've spent FAR too much recently, I have to stop now, break the habit. I just keep seeing things and NEEDING things. I never used to need so much stuff, but now everytime I turn around something has broken, the child has grown a few inches and all her trousers flap around her calves, or a bill falls though the door I wasn't expecting.
And then of course, there's the nice things, the DVD's on Amazon that beg to be bought, clothes I know I would wear over and over, but don't technically need, etc.
I really can't beleive the way things used to last when I was a kid. I only had two paris of shoes at a time, and when my mum bought a washing machine, it lasted a good 10-15 years. Now I seem to go through the things like sweets.
Must stop moaning about it, but still, it's annoying.

On the upside it's warm out today! I saw the sun and everything, and didn't need all the bits and bobs like scarves and hats, just a coat did me today.
The wind off the sae is still horribly ferocious, and when I erected the garden swing for the nipper the other day, she couldn't swing properly as the wind kept blowing her into the side bars, but at least I feel hopeful now that the winter is ending. I even saw some buds ont he trees. Hurrah!
