Giving up Money for Lent

I love it!!!!!!
We need a re-work for the new challenge!!!!Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
What a brilliant thread!
I joined in a bit too late for the Lent challenge but I am definitley up for the unecessary challenge. Have had a couple of NSD's but I need to tighten my belt a bit. Work is a woory at the moment and that's casuing a bit of anxiety but I may have new horizons to follow.
I haven't been on for a bit so I suppose everyone's starting again after a little break but when ? And also are there any ground rules or is it no spending on what you yourself would consider unecessary?

Set a timer for 15 minutes, do housework for that time and then stop (unless you don't want to). Atleast you'll feel better for doing some.
THANK YOU SHIRLEYPARK!! i did it. i turned off the laptop, cranked up the radio and got stuck into it. bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen ... the only room i didn't get round to was the 2nd bedroom, sometimes known as "walk-in wardrobe", usually known as "jumble sale". Boy do I feel better for having a clean house, money in the bank, pay day tomorrow, and doing well on weight watchers ... feeling really positive at the moment and my financial situation always has a massive impact on my mood ....
