100 Day "No Spending" Challenge - Week 9

9 weeks in! Can you believe it?! I know I probably say this every week but time is going so fast!

I have had a relatively boring week. I had a week off from work so haven't really done much, i've spent it lazing around and catching up with blogging and TV! I did go out Saturday night. Since I work nights I don't really get the chance to go out much, so since I had a Saturday night off, I made a point of seeing my besties and hitting the town. I had a lot of fun and only spent about £25! (predrinks ftw!)

I may or may not have mentioned this but I am extending the ban by 50 more days. I feel like I need to pay for my slip ups!

This will take me all the way to May 30th and since I go on holiday on the 10th of June, it means I have more time to save for that! I am intending on going to the #bbloggers meet up in April, but ladies, you may have to stop me making some poor decisions in Selfridges! Let me know if you want to join me in my insanity to do 150 days ;)

I thought i'd do a monthly update like I did last month, just to put into perspective just how much I have spent/saved. I know this month has been a tough one, I slipped up majorly when the Archie Girls collection was released and saw some friends. I'm expecting my eyes to water (and its only been a short month!)

 £145.60 on Archie Girls + £153.00 = £298.60 for the entire month. 
Last month: £189.00 
I do feel AWFUL about the amount I have spent this month as it is basically double. I have some serious thinking to do about whether I want to cut out Lush Retro and other limited edition Lush products as I have noticed a HUGE chunk of money going on that. Its something I need to consider and weigh up as I love reviewing it. What do you think?
Here's to March where I aim to hopefully only get in double figure (or even single, d'ya think I could do it? I'm gonna try!)

Total spent this week: £100 (on the night out and bills!)
What have I learnt this week: Things like lunches, going out ect... are a huge expense so I'm glad I don't overindulge in that department
Lusting after: The new MUA highlighter and Undressed 2 palette.

Another picture of my saving "inspiration" - these are the gates of Magic Kingdom! My holiday payment is looming closer and closer and I really need to spend as little as I can this month to pay it off :)
