A Money-Saving Challenge! Day 1

After realising how much I've spent over the last few months, I decided that it was high time I did something!As much as I enjoy buying new stuff, the enjoyment is even bigger when I've earned this right by saving money and THEN buy whatever I want to :)

So, starting today, my goal is to spend less than £200 a month! How am I going to achieve that?e.g. by trying to buy less fancy type of food (agave syrup, spirulina, exotic dried fruit etc..), stop using eBay and Amazon that often!

Day 1:
22/05/2013

• A bottle of water (Lidl) - £0.29
• A bowl (Wilkinson) -  £0.75

Total:  £1.04 

A great beginning! :))

One second every day (Cesar Kuriyama)

I came across a truly inspiring video of a person who decided to have a year off from his career in advertising  He  needed to find some time for his family and for his own individual projects. When he heard someone's idea to do a certain unique thing every day, he decided to follow that action straight away. What the idea is about is to record a second of your life every single day. Pick up a moment that was really meaningful to you and will remind you of the whole day when you see it later.
Think about all the days that seem all the same when you look back in the past? Don't you have these periods of time when it all looks the same?
I definitely think that if we start doing what Cesar Kuriyama is, we'll add a scoop of a magic powder to our days and who knows, maybe we'll challenge ourselves to go there and do something crazy and unexpected which we wouldn't have thought of otherwise... :)
