Ooops Tigzem. never mind, you DID walk past the magazines - just focus on that part

I'm glad it was sunny for you - it's been cloudy all day here

Good luck tomorrow, everyone :j

So, day 1, salary safely in bank ( I lie, it's whizzing out on all the so's/DD's etc - but it did appear, honestly!), and today has been a No Spender. (Easy when you don't go near a shop, isn't it?...1 down , 30 to go.
My OH says he can't see why I'm doing this, because "you don't waste money anyway". Hey, isn't that nice? However, this could be a case of him not actually knowing about all those little extras like mags, the odd Mars bar...etc.!!
Hope you're all doing ok!

Well done beemuzed! It really keeps me going knowing other people are doing it to!

Well done on your first No Spend Day :j

It's so good to have everyone joining in on the challenge

A lot of the time I don't feel like I'm a money waster but the little treats ie the odd magazine or chocolate bar, the lunch you bought because you couldn't be bothered to make a sandwich to take with you, etc must all add up!

I can't wait till the end of the month to see how much difference it does actually make to my bank balance to not buy un-necessary items

Keep it up everyone

Are cough/sore throat sweet classed as unnecessary? I've woken up with a cold and sore throat.... feeling sorry for myself, surely a creme egg is ok today :rotfl: :rotfl:

Oh and tissues... but they are necessary!!!:rotfl:

Hope we all have a good day today, I'm visiting 1 childminder and 2 nurseries today so on for a NSD. It's fab visiting nurseries etc as my DD gets to play with others, for free!!! I could make this a FT thing.... lol

Chele, good luck with this.
Tempted to join, but know that the Easter break will stretch the pennies a bit this month, especially with the children off. But having said that maybe that's the best time try ?
