It's a wonder I work in accounts when I can't even keep track of my own expenses and stay within budget.
In order to remedy to this problem which is seriously affecting my bank account balance I have decided to start writing up lists: shopping lists to be exact.
I never write any; not even grocery ones. As a result I obviously tend to buy things I don't need, realize my mistake once I am faced with an empty fridge and cupboards and then have to spend more money to get the things I was supposed to have gotten in the first place!
I do exactly the same thing with clothes and shoes. I barely own two tops worthy to wear with this crappy weather, but seem to have gathered quite a large amount of heels I can barely walk in and are definitely not appropriate attire for work as my production office is literally based on a construction site the moment! Aarrgghh!
It is time for a change; hence why I've decided to start writing up lists.
I've ran out of my beauty essentials and need a new lipstick so I've written up a list of what I need:
1. Bobbi Brown SPF15 Oil Control Lotion - £32.00
2. Mac SPF 15 Studio Fix Fluid Foundation - £19.50
3. Mac Lipstick in Lady Danger - £13.50
4. Kiko 3-in-1 Shine Fortifying Nail Care - £4.90
Total: £69.90
I'm off to Westfield Stratford this afternoon so let's see if I can stick to my list and not go over budget!
