DH and I talked last night about a budget, etc. and about buckling down, etc. Of course I dropped my cellphone in the kitchen sink (full of soapy water) and had to put a new (cheaper one) on a credit card because we've exhausted our EF. I have to have a cell my son has type 1 diabetes and needs to be able to reach me at any time. It's not a huge deal, we'll pay it right off it's just that's it's ALWAYS SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally understand how that feels!!!

Dont beat yourself up over it. Just look at it as the Universe testing your committment to truly living a frugal lifestyle. Will this set you back into your old evil consumer ways?? Probably not. Take it as a lesson learned, and move on with your plan and budget!!

If you need to

then go right ahead. Nothing like a good cry to make one feel better

That is such a bummer!! I've done that to a cell phone before. Now that you've gotten your new cell phone, let's do a little "Murphy Go Away" spell, shall we?

There, no more Murphy!

At least it wasn't a BIG Murphy day... (Trying to see the cup "half full").
