Tuesday's Tip - Where is it going to live?

You're out shopping and you come across an ornament. You absolutely love it. You want it. You can't live without it. You need to buy it. STOP and think.

Now I'm not saying, don't buy it. I'm just saying think. And the question I want you to ponder is: Where is going to live? And not just the room, but the exact position. If something is in that place already, what are you going to do with that item. Bin it? Donate it? Give it to someone else? Sell it? Relocate it? To where?

Only once you know exactly where you are going to put your new treasure, whether it will fit, size-wise as well as colour/style or otherwise then treat yourself and buy it. If not, give your wallet/purse a break and don't add more homeless clutter to your home.
