Credit freeze

Credit freeze by paalia.
I make a point of only posting a picture a day... usually. I find it makes me more picky on what I post, and ergo what I shoot..

I say usually, because today I am posting three. What's the special occasion you ask? Well, I built my first light box and finally got a chance to realise something I have been planning for some days now!

I once read an article (one of many I might add..) on 'how to save money', or was it 'how to budget'.. I forget.. point is, one of the clever tips it gave was to "freeze your credit card" so that if you wished to purchase something, you would first have to wait a few hours while your credit card melted, and during this time you would mull over your decision, thereby preventing impulse purchases... Seeing as credit card debt is today a hotter issue than ever (pardon the pun), I thought up this little shoot.

Constructive criticism is most welcome! Thank you :)

Carl- Thanks mate, I actually didn't have to freeze it, its an expired card anyways, just suited my idea ;) My buying program is limited only by my patience (running low) :P

canadian pacific- Thank you for your kind comment! It's always a pleasure to delight others :)

Emily- I love it too, although I'm sure (at least I hope) I can improve :P Thanks for your comment, much appreciated!
