- Shopping Time - Plastic Card -

First time .... Back in the pocket The second time .... Up in the bag Third time .... Starting to feel the heat Fourth time .... Down in the handbag The fifth time .... I'm a little tired Sixth time .... Once again into the pocket Seventh time ..... I soon start to glow Eigth time .... Once again into the handbag Ninth time .... Now I'm really hot Tenth time .... (Phu...) Now I am: EMPTY ! There are busy times for "plastic card" 05.12.2012 A-L Andresen :)

Great read... I've solved that problem... If I don't have the cash... I don't go shopping. This year the TV broke down so my Hubby is doing the shopping (for the new TV) for one big family gift... Actually it'll be a small TV, but it'll give a lot of family time, no matter the size. LOL...

I like your take on the expression "money burning a hole in your pocket" With plastic it's a lot harder to see until you get the bill.
