    Hi everyone (posted this on the July thread- oopsy!)

    Have just come across this thread as seeing as it's now the 1st of August I thought I might join you all!!

    I think what I will aim to do is (not counting bills etc) is to organise myself so that I know what I might need for the week ahead and only spend on a Monday - this may include with drawing a budgeted amount for spending money for the next weekend - to avoid getting carried away at weekends) This is my original intention so will see how it pans out!

    So my target for No Spending Days in August will be 26.

    PS

    Sorry I realise this should probably go on a new thread - but didn't know if someone was already in charge of creating one! :o

    Hi, I am ready to begin. I have written my menu plan for the month, and am ready for the challenge. The first difficulty I have come across is that I have three birthdays coming up next week so I am searching online for Mr T deals as gifts. I hope that is classed as not spending by most people.
