The Unneccesary Challenge

Hi, CAFCgirl about the running shoes -

total cost £10

imagine if you didn't buy them, and went running in ordinary trainers
sustained an injury - I don't know, something to do with your ankle and had to take time off work
Say 3 days
lost earnings = £150 (for arguments sake)

Spending £10 is not unnecessary when it's to preserve your health - your knees and legs are very important!!

I paid about £40 for my last pair in a sale and thought I'd got a right bargain - I haven't gone running since last year due to injury - I really hope I can take it back up once baby is born, it's exhilarating

I think I've done well this week - I haven't counted pennies or kept receipts, but not had any more money than the £10 I started with and I have about £3 left - £7 spent so far :j Got to resist a Friday night take-away though... that's going to take a bit of willpower...

Best way is to jump straight back on the wagon Mrs MH.

Glad you've found you way back to the fold. I know it might seem counter productive to some but I actually find posting on here every day really does keep me on the straight and narrow. That and getting advice on potential spends that do crop up!

Its baked spud night for me so shouldnt cost me too much much! Am looking to improve my money that I spend on food. I know I keep saying it but Ive really got to sort myself out!!!

mrsmortenharket

I shall do that Cafc! How are you?

p.S Everyone

I got my training shoes, £11.96 in the end after a mini bidding war but still a saving.

Well done on the shoes Cafc think of them as an investment of health!

After my chocolate spend it's a no spend so will transfer £7 something this weekend.

Not very chirpy this week as tonsilitus and antibiotics have taken thier toll. Am also not looking forward to finishing the lounge walls as that involves working and I'm beat!!!

My total spend yesterday was 15p !! Plus we did the food shopping and got nothing we didn't need there either. So that's a total of 5.17 so far this week for me.

Hope you feel better soon kiwi
