The reserve bank met today, but everyone has been saying that the rates will not drop again this time. I think our time to fix the rate for free has run out - but I am going to hold off until they drop them another percent (it will be down to 4.21% for us then) or until I hear that they might raise them, and then we will be fixing! At the moment I am happy to leave it all at variable. We are thinking of fixing a portion of it, probably half at this stage.
This morning I had a wardrobe melt down. I could not seem to find anything I wanted to wear (which is stupid, because I have so many clothes). I have decided it would be a good idea to invest in:
- a knit cardigan in a colour other than black (i have three in black)
- a pair of business-type pants in a colour other than black (I was thinking a navy colour?)
- some more flat shoes (maybe 2x pairs)
- and maybe another pair of jeans, seeing as I only have one pair I wear all the time.
I did have a bit of a look around while in town today. I found a dress (yes I know I am not meant to be looking at dresses! shhh!) for $24.95 that I really like. It's a nice casual dress.
Anyway. So I am meeting a friend in town this afternoon, and I think I might go in a bit earlier and have another look around... I will call DF first and see if he minds me buying a few items out of my remaining stimulus money (I have around $600 left).
Woo! Very-Tightly-Self-Controlled Shopping Spree, here I come!

It's ok to splurge once in a while
