   My poor credit card has taken a bit of a beating today ...
 I decided at 10am roughly that I wanted a treadmill, went online for a look around thinking of hiring one.. saw the price of hiring them and thought better of it.
 11am, drive into town, 11:30am, treadmill purchased 
   I've wanted one for a couple of years. I justify the purchase by saying that it's equal to 3 years gym membership and this way I can't use my crappy excuses.
 DH was informed of this purchase when he came home from lunch and just rolled his eyes at me..
 This is after last night I was bitching about having to pay rates 
 I think I might have to get him to hide the CC for a couple of weeks from me
   Now I just can't wait until it gets delivered next week    And not even an ounce of guilt for the most spur of the moment purchase I've had in a long time!

   LMAO Stacey!  Good girl... I can't believe that he only rolled his eyes at you.  My Dh would have put me in the naughty corner!

   lol I was about to head out with Daniel for swimming lessons, so making him shift his car out of the way  probably stopped him from saying more    |

   You'll probably find that he will want to use it too.  Was it expensive?  I'd love one...but I already walk millions of k's a day so I'm not sure it would be worth it.  My sister lost sh*t loads of weight when she used one... oh and she did WW too... She's gone from an 18 to a 10!

   It was but it wasn't.. It was only 2k which in terms of treadmills isn't bad at all considering there were ones priced there for 10k lol..
 I loved the treadmill at the gym and I always have excuses for not going walking/jogging etc so this is good for me. I think DH will use it too.

   There is a big reason why our CC has a 900 limit    The interest is always completely manageable even if it's maxed.

   Tell your DH that mine is about to fork out $440 on boots for me.  Somehow your treadmill doesn't look so bad      |

   Our CC has a limit of $8k lol... but we always pay it off on time and haven't gone anywhere near the limit.
 I just hate having to wait for it, I'm so impatient. I want it now!

   Actually, I was too scared to look at the price when I saw them, so one of my work mats went down and scoped them out!    (Sorry to threadjack Stacey - I think the treadmill is a fab idea!)
