NEW YEAR, NEW GOALS

So by the way I totally made it to Europe and it was the most amazing thing I've ever done ever.
Never, ever would have made it if it weren't for my journal hahaha.

But the new year has begun and I've decided it will be my bitch. I will OWN 2011. Fuck yeah I will. So I'm constructing a list of 50 things I will do before 2012. And I will blog about it. And keep a journal and a record and it will be EPIC.

I can't wait.

twenty-five days

Yeah yeah I'm crap at updating this! Also it's become apparent that when I don't do my drawings... I don't save... I realised this while I drew the following 25ish days of spending ahaha. Yeah it's crap. But! I've paid for my Contiki tour and bought my insurance. And all I really have to do now is save as much spending money as I can. I'll worry about paying dad back for my flights later...

Also I know these drawings are crap in general. Tear.

KEEP ON KEEPING ON

Everyday is another day I stress about money and saving.
And it seems, with this intense worry I won't get to Europe... comes the need to purchase things to make me feel better. Then I freak out a little about my bank balance. So I buy something nice and comforting.
You vicious cycle, get out of here please.
I also suck at updating this.

Yeah! $3008.55 away from my $8000 goal.

But also, I may be going a week earlier! I'm waitlisted for flights so fingers crossed! :)

MY FAVE IS STRAWBERRY

Hi milkshake you are delcious and I want you in my tummy. Mmmmmm.

Listed things on Trademe.

Hope you're rich and awesome!

LONG TIME, NO SAVING

Been a veeeeery long time since I updated... How damn slack.
But you see I was waiting until I actually had something worthwhile to update with. And now I do and it's a bad thing.. You know when there are more drawings... there has been more spending! Eek.



Yeah. Baaaad. (say it as if you're a sheep)



Probably the best day... OF MY LIFE?
I filled the letters with things I could buy with my pay. But won't.
Until the next page at least...



Yeah. Slap on the hand. That's shit Jenni, SHIT.
(and also those are seriously lame and boring drawings but get over it)

So I got some tape and got my eftpos card and taped it to my wall.
NO SPENDING.
Oh and I thought of a new 'rule' - can't buy clothes unless I sell some first. I really need to list stuff on TradeMe. Sigh.
Even though I'm over half way to my ultimate saving goal... I'm stressed I won't have enough by the time I leave! Eep.

And seeing as it's been exactly 2 months since my first drawing I thought I'd calculate all the things I spent into categories... Just for kicks, y'no.
Food & Drink - $60.09
Alcohol - $80.30
Clothes - $120.93
Camera stuff & photos - $424.80
Petrol - $202.32
Misc. - $169.80
Total = $1031.24

That's a lot. I seriously need to try and spend no money!

Oh and I uploaded some stuff to deviantart if you're interested... click here!

ONE TWENTY-SIX DAYS

That's not really that many days in the grand scheme of things!
Yeah. More spending. Eeeek.



Burrrrrrrrrrrgerrrrrrfuelllllllll.
Went out to see 'Valentine's Day' (which was average) and ate a Beetnik and paid some cash so seeing as this is all calculated from my bank account it doesn't look like I spent that much (but I did -sadface-).



Mum's birthday! Bought her flowers and brought them into work for her :)
(it's okay Dad will pay me back muahaha)
And a dress. And I was going to buy this other dress as well but thankfully my card declined because most of the money is in another account. It was a sign!!

So anyway. I feel like money is controlling my liffffffeeeeee. It will be worth it in the end though. I always complain. And for that, friends, I'm sorry. Hahaha :)

E IS FOR EXCITING

Let's all jump for joy! I can afford to pay for my Contiki tour! Only have to save spending money and pay my dad back for the flights! Hahaha.
I'm awful at updating this thing. But I've been doing my drawings! Check it ouuuutttt...



Yeah... did the date wrong again. But yay money!



Wednesday! Jelly and Redbull and plastic cups and stamp and lace leggings and TEAPOT. Even though it was for my birthday so technically I should NOT have bought drinks but people should have bought them for me... Hmmm.



Page 1: MONEY. This all occurred on the 10th Feb. Richness! I've never ever saved this much money ever in my life. Pwouddd.
Page 2: Slipped up and gave in to the raw and fishy temptation of sushi. Although none actually had fish. Inari, one with green bits at the top, roll with avo and cucumber, and rice with huge bit of avo on top! MMMMMMMMM. YUM. And also scored money. And topped up TradeMe account.



Hello knee! Ahem. Elle's b'day! Went out for dinner. Deliciouso!
Tried to be cheap and shared a pizza with Issy :)
And also bought top-up for Robyn as she moves tomorrow and HAS TO KEEP IN CONTACT.

Yeah. That was thrilling! Let's do it again soon.
