SarahNeedle1872 · 22 February 2009 at 10:15PM

Ok guys, with only a week to go until March begins, the time has come for me to step up to the plate and start the challenge.... so here goes!!

Firstly, the rules:
* Well thats easy, you make your own rules!
* What you do/don't include is entirely up to you. I personally do not include debt payments or DDs from the bills account, but do count all other spends budgetted or not, including food shopping.
* You set your own targets. There are 31 potential NSDs in March.

Let me know what your targets are for the month, and if you wish to include what spends you are including, please feel free to.

Can you put me down for 15 please, I'm going to be mad busy at work so that will hopefully reduce the opportunities for spending. I'm not including DDs and bill payments but do include all other spending

Thanks for starting this thread.

poorandindenial · 22 February 2009 at 10:27PM

I really think I need to do this as March has lots of expensive things that I need to do (and electricity and water bills :eek:)so......

Hi - never done this before!

Please can you put me down for 10? Will not include bills and regular DD's and debt payments but will include everything else :eek:

Bone_Idle · 22 February 2009 at 10:38PM

15 for me please - still haven't reached my target of 14 for Feb but I'm pretty optimistic on that score so going to try stretching things in March!

slowlyfading · 22 February 2009 at 11:12PM

I'll put 12 down please! I'm going away for 10 days in March, so that will help!
