Mundane Mondays

My challenge this week is to try to keep my expenses to SCR 500. This does not include any household items e.g. toilet paper, rice etc. usually we have a specific budget for household items so my expenses are purely based on specific things I need e.g. soap, shampoo, drinks, snacks etc. I want to curb my expenses because this past year, I have been going overboard with my expenses. The business pays all the necessary bills like my rent, phone bill, internet, electricity, water so I can certainly do a better job. I of course, pay my car loan with my own salary and that’s the largest chunk. I am glad my car loan repayment will be over by May next year… it’s been a long ride and it’s surprising just how difficult a car loan is to repay off, especially because before this, I had never taken a loan before.

I’ve not been productive today. I spent the day watching “Physical 100” Season 1 on Netflix. I’ll probably spend the rest of this week watching season 2 but I probably won’t get much time tomorrow since I have Chinese classes and will have to do this homework the teacher gave us and study some new words.

Business wasn’t great today. For many retailers it’s the “worst week” when it comes to earnings, since everyone is broke already. Thankfully, earning nothing in a day is very rare and knock on wood has only happened once.

I’ve not been doing a great job with my diet, I’ve gained 5kgs over the last month (hoping 3kgs is temporary). I’ve been eating a little bit more than usual these last few days thanks to the Durian snacks my mother brought back from Singapore.

I’m not so sure what I’ll be watching for movie night tonight but going to try to have an early evening after watching a movie.
