After Christmas, and the presents (not always good ones) and great good meals (with or without family) comes January. Time to sober up and start with your resolutions for the new year.

And  you start very well, going back to work, starting the new diet and signing up for the gym (how often you would go to the gym isn’t clear yet)

But then you get to the middle of January and Surprise Surprise!, you are broke… And the worst thing is that you won’t get paid till the end of the month (Painful!)

So you decide to be positive about it, you will cut down on your nights and meals out (good for your diet and your month free of alcohol too) So far, all good.

The issue comes with … the SALES. Because, yes ladies and getlemen, the big sales of the year (with the massive discounts) are always during the worst economic time of the year too.

So you decide to just go to work and come home directly afterwards, the only stop allowed is the supermarket.

But one days it happens… you see this amazing coat on sale (3rd sale!) (have I said already that it was amazing?!) And you see it clear: You haven’t chosen the coat, the coat has chosen you! you actually have not choice but to buy it (using your credit card of course, you’ll pay it off next month)

And then you decide to go and meet your friends for that drink. They have been calling you all month and you have been making excuse. It will be a great opportunity to try your new coat and have that Ging and Tonic you are dying for, and maybe even dinner if the place is nice?

But you promise yourself that you’ll go to the gym first thing tomorrow… oh no 😀
