SAVE don't SPEND #12

Hi everyone! How absolutely gorgeously glorious has this bank holiday weekend been?! I have been lucky enough to be away for the weekend in Leicester with my boyfriend, perfect timing!

I've definitely overspent this week, but I really don't mind. I am sticking to my spending ban (note no beauty buys - WINNING!) and I picked up some real bargains on my Saturday shopping trip. It's not often I find myself in my old Uni city with my boyfriend so I don't feel bad for spending there. The rest is pretty minimal, with the exception of extortionate train tickets which couldn't be avoided as I had a last minute job interview. All in all not a bad week I don't think.

Are you trying to save money? How is it going for you?

  1. Yay! So often I tend to feel a little guilty when I look at my Spending Diary at the end of the week. And it's worse when people say comments that aren't intended harshly, but make me think I'm an over-spender. Perhaps we're over-spenders together, but I'd say my habits are about the same as yours!

    1. I think I have good weeks and bad weeks. I don't feel guilty for spending money occasionally because I don't do it every day and it's money I've earnt. I hope we're not overspenders but I agree :)

    1. Good luck Ame, I hope you manage to save up!! It's really hard sometimes but when you have something to save for it can give you that extra bit of motivation :)
