March Spending Ban Update



The spending ban in March really didn't go to well.


Before I even went to London I bought:

        • 2x Sunday tickets to Comic Con (Saturday had sold out :( )
        • A Baymax tshirt
        • 3 Funko POP! figures
        • Mother's Day gifts (not optional)
        • A Pikachu plush
        • A pair of DC Trase in black
        • A set of two Pikachu keychain clips (male & female)

I've posted a London haul post so you already know how much junk I bought there!


Since then i've bought:


        • Magneto POP!
        • Domo Ghost Buster POP!
        • Sasuke / Itachi Ice Tray (Well, its reserved)
        • Big Hero 6 Manga Issue 1
        • A lot of junk food and sweets for my long shifts over Easter
        • £50 Steam Voucher (Brother's Birthday - not optional)
        • Printer ink
        • Shrek the Musical tickets (My Mam bought these)
        • And it looks like we're going to have to pay €30pp to get our seats on our KLM flight thanks to Hays Travel (oh, you'll hear about this later)


And then at Newcastle Film & Comic Con I bought:


        • Stan Lee POP! (£40)
        • GoGo POP! (£10)
        • Iron Man Mark 43 POP! (£10)
        • Loki POP! (£10)
        • Thor POP! (£10)
        • Four movie prints (£10)
        • Naruto Badge (£3)
        • Johnny Rotten Signed print (£30)


I've actually had a very bad month for spending, so i'm going to have to get back on track in April (Although my Nan and fiancé have their birthdays coming up! and i'm buying him an Apple Watch!).
Japan is going to be a pretty expensive trip, and my overtime at work isn't like it was last year, i'm not really guaranteed it/set hours anymore. But since I now have no holidays left until June I shouldn't be spending too much while i'm out, but i'll probably be spending more on metro tickets when I go to see my fiancé when he finishes work!

I did a lot of overtime during Easter, and the overtime alone should cover the flights and hotel costs for my half of our anniversary trip to Barcelona so thats definitely a good situation. Its times like this that I realise how irritating it must be for my fiancé who did 36 hours overtime in a single week without being paid for it!
