Like everyone, I've been throughally enjoying the Easter weekend: Sun, Days off and Chocolate! It also gave me a chance to reflect on my current spending habits which are not what you'd call healthy! I always start the month with good intentions, and plan all my outgoings sensibily. Then about halfway through the month I get a bit silly and start spending willy-nilly. By the end of the month I have very little left and am counting the hours til payday, often borrowing off other people! I'm getting a bit sick of living like this, it makes me feel rubbish at the end of the month!
So this month i'm going to try something a little different! I've worked out all my expenses like normal, but I'm putting myself on a unnecessary spending ban! That means no clothes, make-up, toilettries, unplanned snacks, books, magazines (gulp!). If I stick to this I should have a healthy amount left at the end of the month rather than surviving on £10 for 2 weeks!
This ban is until the end of May, wish me luck!
Best of luck! xo
