Spending Ban 2016
So, its time for that dreaded spending ban to resurface! And hopefully it'll go better than it did last year but I have a feeling it might not.
My aim is to buy a lot less Lush bathbombs, and only buy the Funko POP! figures that I absolutely need (like the Bob's Burgers set, anything Stitch and the new Naruto set). I'm also planning on cutting right down on buying sweets, because I buy a lot of them and end up throwing a lot of them away, but even the ones I do eat probably add up to way too much sugar. I'll probably only leave Europe once this year too, even though I would love a little trip to Walt Disney World for my 25th birthday, but at the same time, 1 week is pretty short considering we didn't get everything on our itinerary done when we went for two weeks back in 2014.
Ban exclusions this year:
Holidays
Holiday spending money
Holiday related items (new suitcase etc)
Birthdays/gifts/occasions

It's not really about spending, but I also plan on sorting through all (or most) of the things I own and listing the things I don't want anymore on eBay so I can put more money aside for travel and Disney related things.
I need a new suitcase so I'll definitely have to shell out for one of those, and i've just seen a lovely one which can hold 134L! and the best news is, it's half price down to £60! but the downside is it weights 4kg already as it is without anything in it or, in the case of tags and locks, on it. It does come with a fitted TSA lock, but I've seen bad reviews of inbuilt suitcase locks so i'd prefer to use my own TSA lock either way.
I plan on, maybe, spending less in Japan this year too, although we didn't really spend that much on our last trip - coming back with over £800 worth of Yen! We converted the notes into Euros on the way home and sold on our coins to a friend (we had £70 worth in coins!), but obviously, had we thought we'd be returning so soon we would have held on to at least some of the coins!
Buy less shoes! In 2015 I bought a fair few pairs of Vans, DCs etc, that i've never even worn so this year i'm hoping to avoid doing that! Although I probably will need a new pair or two..
