winter clothes, travel, expenses

June 20th, 2008 at 08:58 pm

I had a little bit of a spendy day yesterday, but in afterthought I think I did quite well!

I went into town and bought 2 jumpers for $AU25. (so, $12.50 each) which was an absolute bargain. And no, I didn't just buy them because they were cheap. I bought them because I am going on holiday in a couple of days, where the temperature can get below 0 degrees celcius. I am hoping it won't be too cold, however I am going in the middle of winter so...

I don't have a great deal of jumpers. I have a few cardigans, but no actual fleecy jumpers, because in the state where I live, even on the coldest day in winter last year it was about four degrees, and usually averages around twenty, which means you can comfortably walk around in shorts and a t-shirt. (well, most of us can)

I did a mock-pack of my bag and weighed it, as I am only allowed 15kg in luggage on the plane. (damn tiger!)All up so far it is about 7.5 kg. I am hoping to keep it at 10kg so I have some room to bring stuff back with me.

Also yesterday I spent $2 on the staff lotto and $4.35 on a coffee while I was out. I am transfering the $4.35 to my personal loan RIGHT NOW. Big Grin New Stupid Vault balance: $29.73

There are only 3 nights left until I hop on the plane.

    This is why we are coming to your state in August to get away from our cold winter.
    Enjoy your holiday down south!

    gamecock43: i didnt convert any money, what do you mean? i just put in AU because sometimes people reading my blog don't bother to read the side bit that says Australian, so then they make comments about my high interest rates and how expensive clothes are and stuff Big Grin
    shiela: i was born in vic and moved up here when i was 5, so i guess i must just have the cold weather in my bones! i hate summer in qld, its terrible. plus i work in a bakery, so basically the only thing i have to look forward to in summer is the possibility of losing a couple of kilos through sweating. yes i know, gross. but true. oh so true...
