Giving up Money for Lent

Seaxwyn

Good luck with the interview Ciara! We'll all be sending you good vibes.

Kiwi, I bought a Green and Blacks egg! £4.99 but I got it in Sainsbury's while doing the weekly shop so I've hidden it in the grocery budget (don't tell CAFCgirl!)

I will give it to my bro and sister in law when we meet up at Easter and hope they are generous enough to share it around! It's the first time I've ever bought an Easter egg for anyone other than my children so I must be going soft. It must have been the excitement of getting loads of lovely fish and meat reduced AND paying an extra £50 off my credit card

If I knew how to add a picture of a queen on here I defo would!!!!

I'm gonna keep you all in suspense waiting for the next challenge till sunday before it begins. So I'm expecting all the regulars here to be the first to sign up!!!

Any special requests for anything to be added on or maybe any point that you think should be more thoroughly explained for the next challenge?

Everything is super appreciated. If you could PM me with it I'd be most grateful...

That way our last remaining days of this challenge remained fixed on the glory of our achievements so far :T

I think I already confessed to buying 6 Easter eggs about three weeks ago. I did get them out of my grocery budget and hid them away as I didn't want to get to this weekend and find there were no Green and Blacks left in local shops. Last night DH asked me what we are doing about Easter eggs as we are not spending so I had to confess to him too! Can't wait til Sunday1

Should say that is one egg each, not all for me.

LOL @ Pooh,

I'd have had them all to myself but then I'm a greedy little sausage

DOH! DOH! DOH! I am gutted and have fallen at the very last hurdle!!! Took kids to park today and took a picnic and drinks, but didn't think we would be there all day so the drinks ran out and I had to buy more :eek: So in total spent £2.40 on extra drinks ..... can't believe I got this far without any spend and on the last but one day had to succumb .......... I now feel cr*p, as I thought I was going to do it ........ oh me, oh my!!!

Good luck with the interview Ciara - all things are kept crossed for you. Hey Queenie, what time does our challenge finish tomorrow? Will you ring a bell or something or shall we just all log on at the same time?

Well done everyone.

I so very nearly blew it all yesterday. Went shopping (essentials only - groceries, new windowscreen wiper blades and rat food), to come home and find one of our rats had taken a turn for the worse. She then spent the next couple of hours curled up with us until she passed away

I *so* wanted chocolate and comfort food, however I did manage to resist, probably only because it would have meant actually going out to get it.

i'm so sorry to hear about your rat shirleypark. x

Seaxwyn

Shirley, I'm so sorry to hear about your rat. We have a dear ancient guinea-pig and I bought her a kilo of food on Wednesday feeling sure she'll never finish it.

Is this the last day of our challenge?

Take care
