I love buying my books brand new. There is something really special about opening the cover for the first time and settling in for a good read. Unfortunately I've gone from a new book every week to maybe a new book every quarter. I'm re-reading alot of my favourites now. Books are so expensive.

My money gets spent on:

Mortgage
Utilities
Food
3 dogs and 1 cat (food, vax, medical)
Our DS
We used to eat out once a week now maybe it's once every 3 weeks.
Travel - That is our big luxury - we try to go on an overseas holiday every 2 years (next one coming up this May) We will sacrifice alot for that holiday.
