    So if the challenge starts again, do those left with a little at the end get a rollover? Or are we *forced* to spend what's left on essential non-essentials? :D

    Would see a little against the MSE ethos to force you to spend on non essentials but sounds like fun ;)

    Phew, that's why I was asking, I don't have the chance of a new £20 either! :rolleyes:

    That's true - in which case we should start the challenge right now - I am sure to make mine last longer than anyone else's :rotfl:

    I've discovered (yet another) not very attractive side to me. If I rein in my spending hard, when I rebel I do it thoroughly :o

    Friday night: blew my £20.02 on Chinese (plus £2.20 of my next £20 :o)
    Then bought discounted hair products - enough for a small salon :o:o
    Then entered the Ghost sale...............:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

    And the chinese takeaway gave me a very unsettled night. I'm just not used to all those additives anymore :cool:

    Been off-line all weekend as DS2 has been sorting out the pooter for me. So I spent the time in my hair shirt wondering where to confess, and decided on Hypnos thread, where no-one goes, and no-one will see how B A D I've been ;)

    I've saved LOADS by spending quite a bit.......................:o

    The stomach is a bit better now thanks. But it is a long time since I've eaten such a brightly coloured glutinous mass :o

    Or me!

    My 20 quid lasted four days! and then I spent another one in superdrug, get this- to save me having any temptation to go and have a facial in holidays..............

    Maddness.

    :beer:

    I was just saying on daily chat I need a new challenge to follow to motivate my pathetic !!!! (in attitude, sadly not remotely pathetic in size) into being more organised and not running out of money!

    so any new summer ones starting. Mind you I belong to so many I should just resurrect some of those!

    Sorry Hypno, I didn't mean to just come on here and spill!
