Crunch Time

I had a pretty amazing weekend: wine, couch dancing, singing/dancing at the pub with besties, driving to Montreal, nordic bath spa in the Laurentians, more wine, fancy dinners, Bailey's for breakfast, green beer on Peel Street at 11:30 am, celebrating my Irishness, parades, beer in the street, more green beer, more dancing, peanut butter dumplings and a much-deserved nap.

BUT, it was an expensive weekend. In 1 month and 5 days, I'm heading to the UK with two besties - M and J. And ladies, I gots ta save! It's crunch time...

So, I'm declaring my promise to myself right here on my blog to not spend ANY money from here until the trip. A few birthdays are coming up, so I will have to spend a little bit of moula there, but no more of the following:

- clothes

- shoes (with the exception of a new pair of converse I plan on bringing with me on the trip)

- eating out

- non-birthday-related nights out

- make-up

- apartment stuff

And to keep my eyes on the prize, I'm going to post little pics like this all over the place to remind myself why saving is such a good idea:
