I'm endeavoring to start this blog back up with a post a week, and when I can write more I will. I'm going to attempt to write more for my university's blog and perhaps the newspaper too this term so I hope I can keep myself to that intention.
I've decided, perhaps against my better judgement to put myself on a spending ban for January to try and rein in on my ridiculous shopping habit! Christmas has just come around and I got a lot of goodies so I think now might be the right time to attempt a spending ban!
As of today I have been on a spending ban for four days and it's not been hassle really! Having said that I am at home and therefore have things bought for me but nonetheless I'm happy with those four days! I'm setting myself a £70 a week spending budget - some of you might think that to be a lot but trust me it isn't. Not when you factor in food shopping, uni and my beloved Costa and Subway! Also, as a sort of consequence of my friends deciding to take part in the Dryathalon (Staying alcohol free for January!) I thought I may as well do the same. Some people I know are doing it for charity so I'll leave there links here (1, 2) if you'd like to contribute! Considering I go out on average 2 nights a week this is the one I'm more worried about! I'm thinking that doing the two together will make me happier come the end of the month when I look at my bank balance, if I don't go out drinking I'll save around £60 a week anyway!
Hope your new year has got off to a flying start. Catch you next week!

Good luck with both!! Will be worth it to see your bank balance at the end of the month! <3
