Money Money Money

So this week i have a whole week off from work which at the start of the week I thought "yay a much needed time off work" I was proper excited, but now, i can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually kind of missing work. This whole week I have literally done nothing just watching a whole load of trashy tv and funny youtube videos and i feel like each day is just a repeat of the day before, just like that vampires diaries episode where Damon and Bonnie just keep repeating the same day over and over again. I'm actually seeing myself count the days until I can go back to work which is kind of sad. Im just really bored, i feel like I should have gone to visit my friend up in uni becuz she said I should when i get time off work,  but I seriously could not be bothered to trek down all the way there, I'm such a sloth. Im defo going to go see her the next time though, i have a week off work in Jan or feb. On the plus side i get paid on friday literally just in time for all the Black friday sales and Cyber Monday sales. Even though here, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving it's great that other countries are still able to take advantage of all the sales.

But I really should be saving up for uni but literally internet shopping is the devil, it's so tempting when online shops like Asos and missguided send you countless emails on sales they have and "free shipping for one day only". I'm actually addicted to internet shopping, i use to be so much better with my money, but im telling you, when the new year comes I'm going to be so budget it my money and not spend anything at all and save all the money I get for uni,  I think I'm still gonna try and work at a supermarket (hopefully get transferred to another supermarket nearer to my uni) while im at uni just to make sure im financially stable and avoid the risk of going into my overdraft, because that defo cannot happen. But a good way of earning money, I found is to sell old clothes that your not wearing anymore on ebay, but the annoying thing about ebay is that at the end of each mouth the money you did make that mouth ebay takes a cut of the money which is so annoying but besides from that its a good way to get a few extra pounds in your pocket, maybe I'll make a business out of it, you never know.

Its kind of annoying how money is one of the main concerns is  most of our our lives, my mum is trying to save up money for doing up the loft but their always something that pops up that she has to pay for, reducing the chances for her to save, I want get to a stage in my life where my mum doesn't have to worry about paying the mortgage and bills and I can treat her to amazing hoidays and gifts where she doesn't have to worry about paying for it all, that's one of the goals I hope to achieve, seeing as i have written up on here i now have to make sure i do it.  

When I go to uni next year I think,well I hope im going to manage my money well, im gonna be such a cheapskate and only spend money on the essentials and plus im not really one for drinking alcohol so I know i won't be spending money on that, even though my friends keep telling me,that literally the first week of freshers all ur money will be going into alcohol and nights-out, but im going to make sure it doesn't.

Starting from January I'm defo not spending a dime, I know with Christmas coming up, I'm 100% sure I going to be broke by the end of the month but that's expected, I can't even believe it's the Christmas season already this year has gone by so fast!

Anyway, going to end it here with a little reminder that I need to stop spending money and SAVE SAVE SAVE!!
