[FONT="]Do you fancy keeping the cash in YOUR account rather than giving it to the retailers? Are you saving for that “something special”? Then why not join us in the July No Spend Day Challenge.
We are here to help each other avoid spending for how-ever many days in the month, in order to take back some control over our hard-earned money. [/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]What you class as a 'spend' is entirely your choice; some people will try to shop on the days DD/SO etc are paid, whilst others will not include essentials such as rent. Personally, I count a spend as any time I buy something, as opposed to the unavoidable utility bills & such.[/FONT]
[FONT="]So! Are we ready to do battle with all things Retail in order to keep the pennies in our pockets a while longer? Come on in & join the fun!
Good Luck everyone![/FONT]
