12 Days in......

We are NOW 12 days in........

I know I've been a bit slack with blogging but to be honest I've been trying to avoid the internet.  I have 4 assignments to write and really I still haven't written them.  ARGH university is HARD and studying from home is EVEN harder.  So many distractions and my bed is just so close.  

Well this blog is about money and I have a SMALL confession........  I accidentally bought a song for Anya the other day on iTunes!!  It was $1.79 and I had hit the BUY button before I even knew what I was doing.  This is HONESTLY the only thing that I have bought this month; but as soon as I did it I was gutted!!  Well it was less than $2 so I guess its OKAY......

So far though I think I'm getting through this month OKAY.  We have been eating at home and I haven't bought a coffee in 12 days!!  WOW!!  I really can't believe this.  I'm so PROUD of myself.  This REALLY is where all of my money goes.  Its the Soy, Caramel, Latte and then a Savory Scone.  This is like $9.80 a day.  Where do I think this money is coming from.  I have managed to truck through all of my course related cost for UNI and that was $1000.  And I don't have any money spare for bills at the moment.  I have money in that account to pay my LARGE power bill and thats it.  But if I need the doctors or anything urgent where is this money going to come from.......  I guess this really is the purpose of the whole exercise.  Yesterday I made my list of what I need my money to go to.

#1.  Takeaway Coffee Cup - so I don't have to spend money on coffee when I'm out.
#2.  Renew My License - expired last week so need a new one.
#3.  Get Anya & I Passports - mine expired and Anya doesn't have one.
#4.  New Jandals - my favourites broke a few weeks ago and my second favourites aren't looking so good either these days.

And then we have October.  That is Anya's 2nd Birthday.  Thank God I have her presents sorted but what is her party going to cost me.  Thought we might just have a BYO FOOD picnic at the park.  That way all the kiddies can have fun running around and the parents can have a sit and enjoy the adult conversation.  But there is still all the food I have to pay for but hopefully I can make that less than $50.  Baking is a great way to save as well so I'll be baking cupcakes and biscuits.  Should I bake a cake or just cupcakes.......  hmm

Right time for some lunch and some study!!  Fingers X'd!!
