- Rose for my friend = should have passed
- TTC tickets = absolutely essential
- 2 watches + ring = should have passed for SURE
- Munchie food = I do need to eat
- Cab ride = I had blisters and I didn't want to do the extra 5-10 min walk
- UoftT glow pen = practical, but not entirely necessary
- UofT stuffed animal = well it was cheap enough.. and I wanted to treat my friend

Aw, Annie don't worry! You can get back on the bandwagon soon enough!

Today is going to be a great day!

So my $15 A Pocket cords came in the mail today! I'm sooo happy! They're not skinny jeans as advertised (thank god) but bootcut and they are actually .5" too long. Sooo happy

Plus, I also got a nice package of my perfume in the mail which cheers me up times a million.

And! My awesome parents' care package came in the mail today. They sent me a new camera (omg I was dying), terminator DVDs (my Dad and I are obsessed with the Sarah Conner Chronicles TV Show and I hadn't seen the movies), chocolate (<3), and my new glasses!

(The glasses especially are fantastic. I accidentally stepped on them and the side thing snapped off. I've had them for like 3 years and they were my favorite, so we had to try and get them repaired but Kate Spade always discontinues glasses really quickly so I was out of luck until the awesome staff at my Optical place tracked down the very last frames from Kate Spade.)


AND! I got into the History Honors event..! I wasn't sure if I'd make it this year since I'm only taking a half course in history, but I'm really glad.

callire, this ban of yours is so out of the window, it's more like "What Did I Buy Today Part 2"

Sorry Callire, but I have to +1 him on that

My update is....remember those $80 chromas I broke ban for? Well they were tight and I decided to trade them straight across for silver strutters I already had 3 gross of fushia AB crystals to put on them so I did that and traded

So the only thing I have bought since 4/4 are those Chromas. I bought some jeans for my sister and my friend.....birthday presents and what not. I even went to the mall yesterday which is a BIG thing for me as the mall is 4 hours away and I didn't buy anything

Ban good so far, but those Antwerp Dojos in the mall are calling me

No one PM'd me... There will be no contest. I fell off the bandwagon this afternoon anyway.

Such failures we are.

I get scared whenever I see you post... I wonder if you've fallen off the bandwagon again.

I'm a little frustrated actually, I'm trying to downsize my collection.. My prices are rock bottom and I've received very little interest in them. I hate having to let them go for so cheap, and it's worst that no one even wants them. I'm raising the prices and selling on eBay instead. Hmph.

wow good job everyone

I haven't spent a single dime on anything I did not pre-arrange too (work tops, school books). I plan on keeping it that way!!!!

I don't have much to sell....anything I want to sell isn't worth much so it's hard to get rid of

I would love to take a collection pic when I get my pants !

Good job everyone, well, so far good job. I am not buying ANY clothing related items until mid-june-ish (i might need to buy something for my grad/vacation at that point). I'm re-evaluating my plans! So that's about 6 weeks with NO spending. I plan on paying off my loans/visas with all the extra cash!

Woooo woooo

the end of the school semester is over and i more or less got the grades i aimed for, so the ban is kind of over for me? but i could always use a little extra cash between now and when i start my summer job, so i'm in the process of deciding what to sell... sigh
