I
thought I would kick off with a mini haul, I have been on a self-enforced
spending ban due to my impending summer holiday to Florida. I am a closet
shopaholic and so any type of spending ban really tests my will power. I had a
mini splurge at the weekend and brought a few things, all completely necessary
(if you can call a wash bag necessary). Clearly I have little willpower...
Mini haul- Ted Baker large wash bag (here), Varjak Paw, Iphone 5 (here) and Kensuke's Kingdom |
The Ted
Baker wash bag has the cutest print covering it, I am obsessed with pugs and French
bulldogs and so this print is perfect for me, as I can't have a Pug or French
bulldog in reality. I have a couple of trips this summer as well and didn't have any wash bags that are this big.
I want one of these dogs so much! |
Over the
summer one of the things I have to do before returning to university in September
is read two of these children’s books for my English module. I read Kensuke's
kingdom when I was in year 6 and remember loving it so looking forward to
re-reading that. The second book I was asked to read was Varjak’s Paw, I had
never heard of this book before however look forward to an easy read.
My last
item in my mini haul is my iPhone 5, my previous contract came to a end this
week and I was looking online at all the different deals you could get but
didn’t want to spend more than £25 a month as my pervious contract was £32 a month
and whilst that was fine when I had my part time job, while at university I
have really resented that £32 going out every month as I live on quite a small
budget during term time so I can save for items on my wish list. I got a great
deal with Vodafone upgrading my phone from an iPhone 4 to a iPhone 5 and paying
less money. Ecstatic with my bargain I kept randomly braking out into a happy shuffle
dance thing that really should be contained to only my eyes however my flat
mates were present for some of the outbursts- sorry guys!
Shiny new phone |
Thanks for reading, I adore hauls, as it always gives me good ideas for presents for others or things I need or want. Not sure if anyone would be interested in reviews of any of these things after I have used them for a while, let me know in the comments, also how well you deal with spending bans? Clearly I have failed here but brownie promise I am back on the straight and narrow (as of tomorrow)
