Fiscal Fast – 7 days no spending (at all)

[Deleted User]

yes I too would think it comes outside of the fiscal-fasting remit as its important to help if you can, and especially where the community is involved.
London has so many homeless and helping even if its just a small donation is important.I have a charity that I donate to and to me and I don't count it from my food budget it comes under necessities

Morning all,

Nice to have some fellow fiscal fasters.

Still not spent anything, although I have been tempted by books on Amaz**. Thankfully, I took the precaution of taking off my password so it makes purchases less convenient to do. It is all in the mind, as I have plenty of unread books in the house, so I just need to perservere to break the habit and create a new one.

Today will be another fast as I have an indoor housework day planned although I am waiting for the anadins to work as I ache.

good luck all.

Good Luck all

Good Morning f/fasters start of a new month and all my banking and bills sorted and paid and a brand new lot of cash in my food budget purse for the month as yet I have nothing to buy this week so i am hoping for a lot of NBI days this month I managed to stash some left over cash into my holiday fund from january's food purse so i am quite pleased with how things are going at the moment lots of stuff still in the cupboards and freezer and plenty of fruit and veg in stock still as I have been away over the weekend
keep tight hold of the spending reins chums

Day 6 of f/fasting and I am hoping to last out until next Wednesday when Lidls offers finish.Only got four things at the moment on my shopping list, and none of them are urgent.I have enough fruit and veg to last me out and plenty of stuff in the cupboards so my little brown food budget purse is staying firmly shut .I am starting my spring cleaning this morning and also doing a bit of baking,then this afternoon I shall be feet up watching the recorded War & Peace while doing some knitting.
Happy f/fasting chums
