Shopping dilemma

The big question worrying me this week is “what do I do with the last €25 of my birthday money?”

So far I have spent my birthday money on a new handbag and then when I found out we were moving I brought another humumgous bag to carry books, baby stuff, woolly hats etc on the flight, and some wintery baby clothes.
So now I have the last €25 of the money my dad gave me, thanks dad!

And the options are:

• The red leather handbag, which is the one I really wanted, but saw it after buying my first bag but it wasn’t big enough for a carry on and so now it seems rather excessive to buy three new bags, but it is so cute!
• A haircut. It is six months since my last one and I know it is time because I wear it in a pony tail every day. That plus I am looking a little more like Worzel Gummage and less like Aunt Sally.
• Or, the final option, the woolly poncho thingy I saw when window shopping. It is cosy wooly with a polo neck, short in length with big buttons doing up the sides. It sounds a lot worse than it looks, but it would be very handing for staying warm while breastfeeding in the snowy Alps.

Actually if I drew out mum’s birthday money I could have all three, but I would feel guilty about spending it on me when we have no income and are living off our savings.

I think it is a case of all or nothing and day by day I decide one way or the other.
