    Hi Kelly!

    Am planning on spending NOTHING this month - and this also applies to other luxuries too (except maybe 1 Glamour mag - yes ONE!) as I have a HUUUUGE dentist bill to pay (will be worth it though). Am hoping that I might be brave enough to cut down smoking too. I'm gonna be no fun this month :(:cool:

    Welcome Kelly, good luck with the challenge. I'm in again this month. I should see the end of my Boots Royal Jelly Creme Bath and bodywash this month. It feels nice but I'm not too keen on the smell.

    Hoping my willpower holds - I'm on the No Cash Spends again this coming month. For those of us who are doing it, we have the Clairol Foam Party on the 19th to look forward to. I have a ceremony to attend for my maths teaching certificate on the Monday 21st so I think I will actually do it on that day.

    Do you teach maths? Not asking in a shock way, I'm not the hugest fan of it, but it was the major of my degree :eek:

    Welcome to the board Kelly :)

    I think my 'insomnia' has caught up with me :( Why never at the weekend when I can sleep :mad:

    Thanks Sunshineyday.

    I spent £6.38 in January and approx. £11 in February. This doesn't include the £12 BS voucher as I won't count this until the month that I go and get my goodies - I will try and hold out until the Easter holidays as I will have a few days off and will be bound to spend a day of it shopping. This will also give me some time to use up a few more things in the meantime. I haven't spent a huge amount of money but I am finding it useful to keep a note of expenditure in order to keep it in check. I know that I will buy Glamour this month but the only two items that are tempting me are the mascara and the moisturiser.

    I have started to sort out some items to send for the refuge in the next couple of days and will let you know what I've sent.

    I have to say thank you to Ma-ri-ella, I'm no longer scared (well, not as much) of going through the rest of my makeup stash. I think I finished counting my nail varnishes on Sunday - 78 :eek: :eek: I really had no idea. I thought my sister was mad when her guess was 71 in comparison to my guess of 50 :o
