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!

A Side Hustle Playing Video Games? - Swagbucks

A Side Hustle Playing Video Games?  It sounds too good to be true, but it's not! It can be pretty time consuming depending on which games you choose, but you'll have fun playing them and earn points you can use to trade in for gift cards for places like Tesco and Amazon, or even a direct Paypal transfer or prepaid MasterCard. Here is my game log from the past 30 days, that's a whopping total of  11,261SB, which is roughly £110, it's not always that high, it always comes down to which offers are available and if the game interests you enough to play it and complete the challenges, but money for playing games is a win no matter how high or low the value is! That was just 4 games, but Raid Shadow Legends and Star Trek Fleet Command are high paying, time consuming offers. But that is not all Swagbucks have to offer, they're also a cashback website and a survey website! They run regular Team Challenges and Swago boards where you can earn additional swagbucks or rebates b
