    I really need to lose weight too- I think that will be my goal after Xmas. Need to get in the swing of savings first and get the rest of my Xmas presents sorted.

    Everyone is doing so well and is really motivated today, it's great. I think I'm going to join the nsd challenge for sept too, I have days where I generally don't spend anything anyway but to push myself when I want something will be great.

    I'm also going to give ebay a push this month before the price increase to see if I can shift anything else. Will start putting on tonight.

    good luck yukkibear you can do it
    yeah we are all on a real high today!! we are all doing so so well
    i think the nsd thing will be great for me as it will cut out all the days where i just spend a few quid that i could not spend! i might be able to do more then 15 but it is hard to tell when you start something! the house is bursting with food so i have no need to spend. i didn't spedn anything yesterday or so far today
