Confession

I have a confession……….today I headed over to Westfield Shopping Centre to run a couple of errands and have a stroll around the shops. I am in my last week of my 3 weeks holiday and this is ‘my’ week were I promised myself I would do some nice things I enjoy and catch up with family and friends.

I was good, really good, had done my ‘to do’s’ at Westfield, even had a look at the fantastic iPhone that I would like to change over to when my current phone plan expires in July. I had spent not a cent, that was until I ventured into Witchery!

You see I have a couple of things on my Wish List, not many but a couple to mention are a long cardigan for winter and a pair of flat shoes for work. I have been searching for a while so when I finally came across this cardigan and it was exactly what I had envisaged it just had to be mine.

Now anyone who knows me knows that I am NOT an impulsive buyer, in fact I am not a big ‘shopper’ at all, but occasionally I will get a couple of things in my head that I would really like, and that is how I am now in the possession of a new cardigan.

My First Blog Post

When I was a kid my mum used to refer to me as Robyn Wish Wish - I was always walking around wishing for this and wishing for that. I still remember wishing for a gold (brass) bed on my 10th birthday. Unfortunately I was also blessed with 'champagne taste on a beer budget' so my wish list has always been a lot of thing which are more expensive than my salary will afford.

Take for example my current wish list which includes purchasing a place of my own, upgrading my ute, a kitchen aid mixer, not to mention clothes, shoes, jewellery, getting my ute fixed, taking the cat to the vet, getting my hair cut......the list goes on and on and on...........

Don't get me wrong I'm very grateful for the wonderful things that I do have in my life like my amazing family, very special friends, this includes the knitting group that I am so very grateful to be a part of (Jo (my sister), Nic (my besty), Julia (my sisters besty) & Naomi (Nics besty)); I have a job that I enjoy, a roof over my head, food on my table, and my health so I definately have nothing to complain about.

But I'm not going to fib, I like nice things and I know they are only things, but I figure I don't smoke, I drink very little and I am not a big 'partier'. So I have a plan, a savings plan that is, and a list, a Robyn Wish Wish list that I daydream about, because after all we all dream and wish from time to time :-)
