Challange 5 No Spend Days In July

Ames

I'm on 10 now but I can't make my target. I'll set a lower one for next month I think.

I have found this challenge really helpful. :A

I had my first no spend day last Sunday, then one Monday, then one Thursday. I normally spend every single day.... I've also found it helps with my diet as I haven't bought anything from the vend machines and I've bought cheaper things to take to work from the grocery bill to avoid spending. So I'm on 3 no-spend days just since Sunday!:j I also spent less on the weekly shop than normal, just hope it's visible when I look at my bank account too. The days when I did spend were petrol, 60p on chocolate, milk and angel delight and the weekly shop so all very restrained. I've spent about £40 less this week so far....:j

up to 8 now, it would have been 9, but my little westie was attacked by a big staffy so £33 vet's bill ! I will complete this challenge only 1 more as my operation has been brought forward to 31st July making up the 10.

Woo hoo, I've done my 5! See if I can get any more this week!

Archers - hope the dogs ok and that your op goes without a hitch!

Keep up the good work everyone!

Finally managed to get my 4th of the month, but I won't be successful in getting my target of 10....

This challenge has really highlighted how difficult I find it to spend nothing, whether it is petrol or something un-necessary such as coffee or chocolate, so thank you for drawing my attention to it!

I will def be doing this challenge again next month if it runs......but whether I try for 10 again remains to be seen.....:o

12 so far for me! :j However, it is easier for me than a lot of people in this challenge as I don't have kids to pay for; it's just me and OH. x

Can't manage a NSD today - have to buy DS some (cheap) trainers.......tomorrow I need to pay bus fare for him to go to basketball camp, so that won't help my quest either :rolleyes:

I finally managed my 4th NSD today.

Like hypno06, I have been surprised at how difficult I have found it this month. Although I think I will get my 5th, I'm glad I didn't set a higher target - I thought 5 NSDs would be quite easy in one month, but its turned out to be harder than I thought!

I'd also be interested in joining again if the challenge runs in August - I clearly need to improve in this area, and I've found the challenge really helpful - thanks!

I've got 2 to go, like a lot of people it's been harder than I thought. Hmm, 2 to go and 4 days to do it... scary! Especially as I went all weekend without spending!

There will be a challenge in August. If the OP or angeldiva doesn't set it up, I will set it up!
