Oh go on then... count me in too! :eek: So £20 for 2 weeks (or more??) max unnecessary spends? Is that right?
Your bring lunch into work challenge a few months ago finally got me out of the habit of buying lunch at work. I think I've only eaten in the canteen twice in the last 2 months (and one of those was an emergency hangover plate of chips as being let loose with a sharp knife to make my packed-lunch was just too dangerous!
:rotfl:) :j Chips are definitely medicinal... :rotfl: Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

taka, yes - your £20 is for "spends"..things that you really COULD avoid buying if only you made a bit of an effort!
I am still bringing lunches in from home - very rarely do I buy coffee or lunches nowadays......:T

Hypno - how come you have great ideas like the £20 for 2 weeks as a challenge
Now I feel I have to have a go at this.......but I'm right in thinking wine does not count as a spend - it's a necessity, isn't it??

No idea......! I am always brainstorming things, so I suppose I am used to just letting my mind come up with new ideas - thinking outside the box, sort of thing!
Just made a whole £4 on a free casino thing - its on its way to my bank account now - and accepted three little mystery shops for the weekend and next week....every little helps!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.
