Jolly July NS D-A-Y!

BigMummaF

[FONT=&quot]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=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]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=&quot]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]

I should aim for 30 No non-essential-Spend Days
Can you put me down for 15, and I'll not count my DD's and STO's?

I *need* to get my spending back under control

flutterbyuk25

Can I join in please? I'm going to go for 15, I am away with work for 6 days in middle of nowhere so will not be able to spend anything! So it's really only 9 I have to go for, lol.
