062. Save £100 a month (£1100/£3300)

Today is payday and I've straightened out my savings. I had owed my ISA £200 for quite some time and my excessive spending throughout August and September meant I couldn't pay any of it back. I'm now trying to get set for Christmas gift and winter wardrobe shopping.

I now have over £1000 saved which is pretty amazing. I just need to complete some more of my goals - each one of those completed is another £10. I might not be able to complete many more just now but I can definitely go through and mark some more in progress.

Two years to go....

I've been updating my 101 list tonight and noticed my finish date is September 7 2013. This means I've just passed the two years to go point!

With only 11 goals completed and 33 in progress, I better get a move on.

013. Eat at 10 new restaurants (3/10)

On Saturday September 3 I went out to dinner with some friends from work to celebrate a birthday of theirs. We went to an Italian restaurant called Prezzo. I'm not an Italian food fan, when it comes to pasta and pizza I just don't eat it! Too much cheese, too much garlic - not for me. Thank goodness there was something on the menu I could have, that turned out to be a burger! The burger was supposed to come with cheese and mayo, I had neither - no cheese, no mayo. It was really great, not the best burger I've ever had, but still great. We also shared a few bread boards as starters, I just went for the plain, un-herbed variety! And, for dessert the majority of us went for the chocolate and honeycomb cheesecake - amazing!

I don't think I'll go back with just James, neither of us eat Italian - although James might be more adventurous than me. I think we'd go somewhere else for burgers. But, it depends I suppose, I might fancy a slice of that amazing cheesecake again!

Shopaholic

October will be another 'no-buy' month. There is no rehab for my addiction, just straight up cold-turkey!

It's only September 10 right now, 19 days til payday.

And we're going to London and Liverpool! Oh no!
