Spending Ban Update
Ah, the dreaded spending ban update!
I actually haven't done that bad up to now (11am February 2nd) although I do have three Funko Pops I need to pick up from Animez (so like £30 or so) and I did just order my third print and three new frames (about £160 total, but i'm going to exclude this from the ban).
I hadn't bought anything other than food and metro tickets up until a couple of weeks ago, when I bought a new purse as I lost my Vans purse not long after getting back from California (I really hope I can find it, i'd only had it a couple of months!)
Since then i've bought a few Valentines gifts for my fiancé, a key holder for our house, and some euros for our Paris trip.
Oh, I also booked us a trip to London, and we're booking up for Barcelona for our 10th anniversary soon, and I need to get our Comic con and Sunnycon tickets.
So its going to be am expensive ish couple of months, but i'm still holding the spending ban down on impulse purchases.
I also got a Japanese phrasebook for our trip to Japan in August, but that was only about £5 and a necessary purchase.
I have actually spent quite a bit when you write it down like this, but the only things i've bought/will be buying that aren't excluded from the ban are the three Funko's, everything else I have actually needed to get.
February/March's spending ban review will look even worse, but i'm not restricting my spends too much in Paris and London, i'll restrict them a little more at Comic con though. The point of the spending ban was too take more spending money to these places.
I do have a saving update separate to these though, last Sunday I decided that every Monday I would put away £30 into my savings, £20 is going towards a new iMac and the £10 is going towards my iPhone 7 (I know, a bit early since the 6 only came out in September, so the 7 won't be due until September 2016, but spending nearly £700 on a phone while I was in Florida knocked my bank balance a bit so I don't want that to happen again next time).
