I am going to focus on the "and be sensible with money" bit of this resolution today!!
Every knows, that after Christmas, we might be a bit strapped for cash, or have less money than comfortable due to Christmas and *ahem* Sales. Curse you sales!! *shakes fist* I have being spending in the last week like it was the end of the world (well it WAS the end of the year!) and now I am down to my last bit of money, which I need for definite and cannot afford to spend on random things!! SO I have taken ideas from other people and decided, these are good money saving ideas, and devised my own money saving plan!!
Trimming the Stash: An idea I found on another blog (I can't remember which one now D: ) where the jist of it is, that you use up all of one thing before buying the next (ie if you have a lot of shampoos or body washes, use them all up before buying new ones!) I think this should save me some money as I am prone sometimes to buying a bunch of moisturisers and shower gels at one time!
Project 10 Pan: Yup, most of you probably have heard of this, and I will be taking part this year!! Buying make up with me is so bad, so this time, I will wait till I have used up 10 make up items before buying another (this includes nail varnish! GAH!)
Luxuries Limit: £20 a month! Might not seem like a lot to people, but when I don't actually need anything (like clothes) right now, I don't need to spend money on them!! And £20 can go quite far if you know how, charity shops are love!! Mind you, I think I will be stocking up on matching underwear sets and tights with this money in the next two months haha!
Food Limit: £20. a week Again, might not seem a lot, but I can live off £10 a week, so £20 is actually a luxury amount! This includes things like chocolate bars and my graze box!!
I also need to work out how much I can save a month and put into a savings account, just to generally save up for important things like holidays and birthdays!
What do you think of my money saving ideas? Have you got any tips I can try?

Happy 2011 Bloggers!!
Hey there!! How is everyone? Its 2011! Wow 2010 went fast, does anyone else think this? It went really really fast for me!!
Sorry I haven't been such a good blogger recently, but I am going to try and be a good blogger again, its even in my New Years resolutions!!
Talking of Resolutions, I wrote down all the things I wanted to achieve/resolve, and I came out with 14!! SO MANY!! But I shall write them all down here for you guys to have a look! I have a journal to write things down in now as well, which I will take with me everywhere, and try and keep writing in it!
NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS:
1. To loose a stone by my birthday (May 18th)
2. To exercise three times a week
3. To walk for 20-30 minutes on the other days (this will help my S.A.Ds too!)
4. To break a real bad habit (to embarrassed to write it online haha!)
5. To not eat chocolate, except on Wednesdays. Hot chocolate is an exception, but only drink it every other day.
6. To try and write my blog once a day (and write my other blogs once a week!)
7. To draw at least once a day
8. Finish at least one story/comic project
9. Finish monthly chibi project
10. Eat more varieties of healthy food (ie look up healthy recipes, eat more of a variety of fruit and veg)
11. Do homework as soon as I get it (this I NEED I am so bad with homework)
12. Get butt in gear with coursework
13. Open a savings account and be sensible with money
14. Get a permenant job!!
There are lots of things I want to achieve this year, like loosing enough weight to feel comfortable in my body again, move in with my boyfriend, complete college and get good grades, complete one of my personal projects, learn to cook lots of yummy things without burning them!
Do you have many New Years resolutions? And what do you want to achieve this year? I might even finish my book off this year!!
Here is a photo of me last night, in one of my new Yumi dresses:
Today I haven't done much, I went for a walk, bought some squash so I can drink more water, wrote in my journal and now I am writing this!! Just waiting for my dinner, then I think I will draw something! I wonder what today is, I think todays project is High School Horrors! I shall go check.
Anyways, see you tomorrow hopefully! Happy New Years bloggers!

New Years!
HAPPY NEW YEARS BLOGGER!! One of my resolutions is to update this more!! So heres a New Year blog with some pictures from last night and today!
Unlike most people my age (21) I much prefer a quieter night with my family, playing family games, eating finger food and watching the tv count down. Boring I know :P
So heres the outfit I was wearing last night. The dress I bought from a shop in Hull, England and the jacket was from New Look. My shoes were from Marks and Spencers!
For my make up I just put on some gold eyeshadow and added a line of gold sparkle above the upper lash line
What a lovely picture 8D
Here was a photo of the people I was with when the clock striked 00:00
I love a good family doo instead of going out clubbing I have always been a family girl!!
And on to the day itself! I forced myself out of bed at 12 since I feel real tired at the moment and its a struggle to get up (going to sleep at 3am doesn't help either). I decided to try and work on some of my New Years resolutions, ie get out into the fresh air every day and eating better and looking after myself. I got up, had a bath (exfoliatioooon) and moisturised before getting dressed and putting on my make up! I just wore a comfy outfit of black jeans, floral blouse over a green vest top and silver shoes. I was going to go out straight away but my boyfriend came online and I decided to stay in until 'Sharks Tale' finished (I love films like that coming on round the Holiday period). I finally forced myself out at 3:15pm and wanted to go to Superdrugs but it was shut grrrrr! Instead I decided to skulk over to Peacocks and have a browse in the sales. I found two tops and some gloves to buy and also shoes and tights that weren't on sale. I washed the tops before I took a pic so they arn't photographic right now but I took a pic of the shoes and gloves! After a lovely meal of home made stew by my dad, I went home and have spent the rest of the evening watching tv and tidying my room! Interesting yes? I was watching Charlie and the chocolate factory, Doctor Who, The Italian Job and the Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Currently watching Gordon Ramsey right now as I type this!
Well, I had a pretty calm New Years Day, how about you? HAPPY NEW DECADE PEOPLE!
Most of my resolutions I am going to start Monday. Theres nothing better than starting a new life on a Monday!
