Mania

Good advice - I think you should post that on the "what I have learnt" thread - I've had the credit cards to back up my winter spending spree as well!

Ive not really thought much about it, but I must admit I do go a bit bonkers in the Spring.

Oh god that's so true! Don't know how many jobs and courses I've left in spring and autumn! And last October went out for a coffee, happened to pass a travel agent and ended up booking a 5* tour down the Nile. Still paying that one off!

But how do you stop making stupid decisions because at the time they seem to make perfect sense? It's only afterwards you think 'oh oh'!

I've done some really daft things during my manic periods!

It is difficult to put off big decisions, for me the answer is to be aware that I'm not best equipped to make decisions at this time of year so I know I have to make an extra effort to think them through and to canvas opinions from those that I really trust and to LISTEN to what they say.

I also try to pre-plan decisions where possible so I've done the logic in the better months of the year.

I become more active in the spring, but I put it down to the fact, at least partly, that I'm more lively without my winter support AD's
