Apr. 30th, 2005 06:53 amWell, I received a rude awakening last night. I asked my dad to check out how much money was in my bank account, and he said that I only had .73 cents left. .73! I must admit I was floored. I hadn't thought that I had so little left! And it's a damn good thing I had him check, too, else I would have overdrawn on my account this weekend. *huff* Well (60 wells make a river!), I guess I'm going to have to come up with some sort of plan to make sure that I'm not completely broke before I go home!
So, starting Monday, here is my plan:
No more random BP visits, unless for something like eggs or milk.
The only drinks allowed are tap water, tea, Heather creme, and what little hot chocolate I have left. Soda and other alcohol is out. Until the tea bags run out, at which point I am allowed only 1 new box of tea (which will most likely be Lady Gray, cuz, yum.)
I guess I'll have to fully plan out a week's worth of meals from now on. Need to get in the swing of fresh fruits and veggies, and may even stop with the whole meat thing because it's a bit expensive.
No more frivolous spending on books, manga, clothing, etc. EXCEPTION: needed quite badly - 1. a slip and 2. cute pair of shoes for skirt. Beyond that, I'm cut off. EXCEPTION x2: Souvenirs in the form of post cards and pin badges as well, but to be limited to no more than 5 post cards per place I visit, and only 1 pin.
No more random eating out. However, I will allow myself to indulge in 1 meal a week to be eaten out, generally at the Magic Wok or Top Table, where it's hard to eat more than £5 at a time. If, however, I do get invited to go out with other people, a budget of £15 per meal is required at dinner, £10 at lunch. If I am invited out, that does constitute my one meal a week, and I shall have to eat at home for the rest of the week.
No more trips to Scotland until I can be absolutely sure I can feed myself until the end of the term. T_T Very sad.
Must consider the possibility that I will have to *shudder* eat at Wessex once again. I'll have to work hard to avoid that. Cuz, ew.
However, if, for some reason, I get a huge craving for something most likely due to menstruation, I will allow myself to indulge a bit, but try to keep it at a minimum. It's not healthy to not indulge in cravings.
I'm sure there will be more to be added at a later date. Yes, these are the types of things that keep me up at night. Like last night, where I'm positive I only got about two hours combined sleep.
