What I spent my money on in April

What I spent Money on in April. (Remember the April mission was to spend money on myself)

Last month: 1,307.41; This month 1,388.60

Not bad considering the whole point of last month was to spend money for a change. Last month all my bills were smaller and I only had to fill up for gas once, so that extra money that was normally spent on other necessities was used for most of my shopping antics.
