When the budget goes wayward...

During the first 6 weeks of my sejour I was being very conscience of my budget and spending. I even had a notebook entitled as such were I recorded every last trip to the coffee machine (which is too often...). However I think I was so excited about how frugal I was in Montpellier that I began to totally ignore my spending. Somehow going 3 euros over your lunch budget and spending 4 more euros on a drink at a café each day quickly adds up. Today I realized that I had spent 60 euros this week, not even this week, but in the last 4 days. I don't even know where it went! (well I do.. 10 for a Petit Prince Napkin dispenser that is so cute and kitchy that I couldn't help myself, 3 euros for postcards, 7 euros for lunch, 3 euros for cookie supplies, 12 euros for my 3 course lunch, 4 euros for a hot apple cider, 6 euros for lunch at the bagel place, 3 euros reservation fee for my trip to Paris, a couple trips on the bus...) Needless to say, I need to start watching my pursestrings a little more closely, however I got a great week out of it so who am I to complain? It's not like I went Black Friday shopping!
