>>62618691>>62618716My greatest weakness (that I'm ashamed to admit) is that I've got a really bad habit of "overindulging" myself.
For example - my mum (who I live with, and is my full-time carer) will ask me to pop down to the shops and get these items:
- Milk
- Bread
- Sugar
- snacks / juice to last a week (for my nephew who lives with us and when he "does" go to school)
- Dinners (one of each)
- Tobacco / filter tips (for my mum)
- Teabags
- Coffee
And I'll go out and do just that (as well as pick up anything else she requests me to do). The "overindulging" bit comes in because while I DO get the items she asks me to get, sometimes I go WAY overboard and also get
- Cakes (more than 1)
- Biscuits (this is a lesser evil because me and my mum love to dip biscuits in tea).
- Bottles of juice (more than 1)
- Crisps (more than 1 as there's a certain kind I like to munch on).
And this is what rakes the prices up. Sure, when I get more than I can buy I do share it... but the point is that I'm sent to the shops for necessities and then I come back with more than I'm suppose to get. What's worse is that I have to carry these things back myself and me not being fit, I sometimes have to stop and take a breather.
And that's when I buy from the shops that's not expensive to buy from. When I buy from the shops that IS expensive (but closer) I tend to spend things like £80 (which is on chocolate which I did share) and a few days back, I also spent around £92 which were necessities, tobacco. This was done with my card which is why my funds are dangerously low. I also sometimes use my mum's card (I have permission) but there was one time I spent near £100 at the shop that's cheap because as I mentioned before, I have a "overindulging" weakness where I just can't help but buy shit that's not needed. Nevertheless, she wssn't pleased (she had more money than me but that's not the point).
Sorry if I ranted a bit and let out a bit of my "life story" that no one wanted to hear. No, I don't hate my mum and "overindulge" on her card as much as I do with my own card. I just wanted to explain my reason "why" I had to cancel my membership and if my mum hadn't told me how much I have in my bank (she also puts money in my bank fortnightly and is my attorney), then I would have been under the impression I still had lots of money (probably around £700ish) and I would have continued to buy more junk with my card which would have rendered me skint.
When I've got my overindulging under control and learned to stay "within reasonable limits" then I will reactivate my membership.
