Spending Ban Update!
Well, we're officially into the second month of the year so I thought it was about time I looked back on my spending ban in regards to the last month to see how i've done!
Personally, I think i've done well, but you do have to bare in mind that Air France charged me twice and held £400 for over a week and a half so I couldn't have spent it even if I wanted to.
No new POP! figures so i've done really well on that one, and no new shoes.. yet.
Where my money has gone so far this year:
New suitcase (in the sale!)
Two new luggage tags
Two new tops
New Disney pants
Sweets and other food I shouldn't be buying
Flights to Disneyland Paris
A stay at the Hotel New York
A new cookie stamp (sale for £1!)
New Tsum Tsums - Lion King, Guardians of the Galaxy and some Zootopia/Zootropolis
A few new things from the Disney Store (post coming soon!)
Valentines Gifts
Mother's Day Gifts
Our coat of arms from Durham Cathedral
Dragonball Z Resurrection F & Naruto The Last but those were preordered last year
Photoshop CC is now in my name so my first payment of that has gone out now too
I paid for a 1 month Tokyo Treat box too at the beginning of February!
New luggage scales
Travel toothbrushes for all 3 holidays we have booked
I think I also paid off my half of Prague this month too!
Looking at my bank balance I probably spent a lot more than I should have, but i'm ahead with gift shopping so it'll even itself out eventually. I just have a few more Mother's Day gifts to pick up then i'll start on my brother's birthday presents, I already know what i'm getting him so it'll probably be a last minute thing.
February is going to be a pretty expensive month I think, theres a few movies we want to see and I have a couple of Sundays off work. Then of course, theres Valentine's Day, but we're spending at day at the Chinese New Year celebrations in Newcastle, so it shouldn't be too costly after taking gifts into account. But I really do need to buy our Prague Cards, book our Pocket Wifi for Japan, get our convention tickets and I think we're going to get tickets to go see Mary Poppins too.
The Disney Store have recently started releasing two Tsum Tsum sets per month so that is going to add up but i'm starting just to buy the ones I really want, I didn't even order the entire Zootopia/Zootropolis set.
Ok, so between writing this and publishing it I did order two POP figures, but they are from the Bob's Burgers set and I did say I needed those!
