Winning The Lottery Could Enable You Get To Buy Loads of Beautiful Silver Jewellery
At the start of every year I have a go at working out a financial plan for the year ahead. Naturally, some months are going to be more expensive than others. Unfortunately when I had my children, even though there is a 5 year age gap, their actual birthdays are only a few days apart, so March and April are pretty expensive months. My daughter is always easy to buy for, give her a piece of silver jewellery and she is more than happy. My son is really difficult to buy for and he is really particular about what he does and doesn’t like. He doesn’t like any sort of men’s jewellery, so this is never an option. It was his 18th birthday last year and we decided to treat him to a flying lesson from our local airport. This caused a huge row, but that is another story!!
Come August we are always short of funds due to the fact that we always take our holiday in this month. Given the choice I wouldn’t, but with a daughter still at school, it’s tricky to take holiday other than the school holidays. It is unfair though as you end of paying a lot more for your holiday than any other time of the year, and the travel companies know they have you just where they want you.
September is also an expensive month as it is my hubby’s birthday and our anniversary. Last year was our 20th Anniversary and even though I dropped many a hint, the silver earrings I wanted never did materialise. He had better get it right for our 21st this year otherwise there will be problems.
Once birthdays and anniversaries are out of the way, so the build up to Christmas begins and money just flies out the window. You scrimp and save for this and that, and then by the time you get to the end of the year, you have to start all over again after Christmas.
What needs to occur is a big fat win on the Lottery. Having bought a ticket every week since the lottery started in November 1994, surely it must be nearing my time for the big win! I have already planned how much jewellery I would treat myself to and then I wouldn’t care when hubby got me the wrong present – AGAIN!!
