No Spend December?!

Posts: 24 Forumite
Having bought all but one of my Christmas presents (should manage to get the other one tomorrow) I would like to make December as much of a No Spend Month as possible. 
I will have to spend £35 on paying for Christmas items that I bought at a recent Avon party (when they turn up in the next week or two) - but am considering removing this money from my account and placing it in an envelope in advance.
My only other spends should be my end of show party (which will be about £10) and my Christmas night out (about £20 including train/taxi fares!).
Does anyone want to join me in December as a No spend Month? (or just offer some encouragement?!)
