Retiring from Shopaholism

From now on, this is a budget blog.
I'm suddenly absoloutely terrified about university, so I'm preparing myself.
It's a well known fact, i shop alot. And i mean ALOT.
So i'm cutting back.
The first step; admitting i have a problem.
The second step; creating myself a budget
The third step; actually starting the budget.

I think I can achieve it.
I have around £150 coming in every month, depending how many hours I work.
Out of that £150 each month, I don't have anything i HAVE to buy.
Therefore, I won't...
Well, the plan is to limit myself to £20 a month for going out and any essential I need like make-up.
I'm going to limit myself to going out only 2 friday nights a month. I can still do free things the other nights.
If I have a need or want, to make something, then I will only buy the fabric I need and not buy whatever I see that I think looks pretty.
I will only buy credit every 2 months. Must be made to last.
I will take food to sixth form, instead of buying.
And finally, I don't think it's fair to completely deprive myself of clothes.
But I will cut back from purchasing every week, to every other month.
With a maximum of £20, (not included in my £20 budget of that month)

Therefore by the time I go to university, I will have saved around £1000, which will cover about 2 months of living costs etc.

I think that's manageable..
So this is my declaration to stick to my budget.
If not, I don't have much hope at university..

GO AWAY TOPSHOP. :(
