This has to be one of the most expensive weeks I’ve had all year. At least I made a decent amount of freelance income this week (which makes up for the fact that I didn’t make anything last week). But, I spent money every single day. Which is rare for me, but unfortunately couldn’t be avoided. I had a lovely, but busy and expensive weekend home, and got to hang out with two of my favourite PF bloggers – Cupcakes and Cash, and Blonde on a Budget. I love it when we can geek it up IRL.

I also ended up buying 2 tickets to a Sam Roberts concert in October. I wasn’t going to go, but his live show is too good to pass up. And his new album is summer music perfection. I don’t have anyone to go with as of right now, but a lot of my friends will be there anyway, and I highly doubt it will be hard to try and convince someone to come. Nor will it be hard to sell my tickets if I end up not being able to make it.

Oh, I probably didn’t mention it on Twitter or on this blog, but over the weekend I got another tattoo. It’s been in the works for a while now, but unfortunately I forgot to budget it into my June expenses. So that’s kind of a shame.

* This is all income I bring in that is above and beyond my full-time job. Money is primarily made through my two blogs and my graphic design business.
