100 Day Spending Ban Challenge – Week #4


I’m now a whole 28 days into my spending ban! Only 72 more days to go, but hey who’s counting? This week was another one of those ‘fail weeks’, once again I found I saved no money towards my savings this week, and I spent some money. I started my job on Monday, and never having had a professional job before I don’t have a lot of ‘smart work type’ clothes. So on Friday I went into Primark to buy a few basic things to wear… and found myself coming out having spent £50, oops. I feel like I should be defending this spending, but it was still technically breaking my spending ban.

This week I also downloaded an app to my iPad to try and keep track of my spending. I put in everything that had come into and out of my account in January and was actually pretty shocked at how much I would spend for someone who didn’t have a job at the time. It’s definitely made me reevaluate what I spend my money on, especially as I spent a lot of money in Tesco’s buying crap it seems… Hopefully I’ll have a much better week this week and will start to actually make some savings!

See how I’ve got on in other weeks –

    So who’s excited about the Jubilee? I’m suddenly feeling very British and patriotic. It inspired me into doing some Jubilee themed nail art. Sadly I’m working most of the time, at a job where I can’t wear nail polish (I haven’t painted my nails in 2 weeks, sniff), so instead I painted it on my nail…

    This Or That Tag?

    I’ve seen this floating around on a couple of blogs today and thought I’d give it a wurl too 🙂   Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eye liners, lipsticks and lip glosses or lose all your palettes and eye shadows? Lose all my palettes and eye shadows. I couldn’t live without mascara…
