Cecilia Macfarlane Poet Limerick

Charge It

I only just begun to charge
Impulsive buys are way too large
My credit card sighs
While bankbook cries
My pay cheque I need to enlarge


*So many things to buy since I bought a house, but I really am a wise shopper : )

Richard Lamoureux May 10, 2014 at 8:33 AM Good morning Cecilia, I enjoyed rereading this fun write.

Robert Pettit February 11, 2014 at 11:15 AM I was in a similar situation several years ago. I am settled down now, and I only use my cards in an extreme emergency. Enlarging one's paycheck is a very difficult thing to do.

Painted Hunter December 9, 2013 at 2:39 PM Im better off letting my wife handle the budget. No, I don't mind admitting it...haha.

Tim Ryerson October 15, 2013 at 4:32 PM Your credit card sighs while your bankbook cries...Love it! I think you should march straight into your supervisor's office and demand an enlarged paycheck...Congrats on your new home, I know it must be exciting for you - Tim

Richard Lamoureux October 15, 2013 at 11:21 AM This is fun! I'm glad you are keeping your purchases in check. I personally enjoy shopping for furniture and accessories. Richard Lamoureux October 15, 2013 at 11:22 AM My favorite store is home sense, I don't know if you have this chain where you live. Great prices on designer products. I also enjoy a good bargain.
