    Charity gifts were on mine, £11 for six chickens.

    How good is that!?

    Even tempted by the t-shirts you can get too....

    So far today I've been into town and got a few bits that I needed. Had to buy a book for bf as well but i popped into his uni and got the money back anyway :)

    Bought lunch and really regret it. Wasn't nice!!! Waste of money....
    So feel bad about that!

    Probs my last post now till next week as I'm off early tomorrow morning to the new shop. Will be back next tuesday.

    So keep it low or no! (spends that is)

    Hope everyone has a good weekend, see ya all soon

    In my absence I would just like to offer this to two lovely lovely people who I think are really taking the challenge in the stride and being so very supportive and positive about the changes we can make :


    To Ciara and Pippo,

    By the power vested in me by MSE (hang on wrong speech!)

    By Martin Lewis the almighty, :money:

    I, the Unneccessary Queen, dub thee

    Knights of the Unneccesary Table....:rotfl:

    Long may you serve this challenge with utmost respect and dignity, but most importantly low spending!!!

    :T :T :T

    Yay :j we can do what we like now :rotfl: ............




    ............. then again, maybe I stick with 'no spend' as I'm doing so well. Haven't bought any crisps or biscuits since the Lent challenge and don't miss them (wow, never thought I would say that!). Also have bought VERY little chocolate and only 3 magazines since before Lent, am well chuffed :T ...yep, I will behave even with our Queen away :o

    i am so jealous of you!! i CAN'T stop eating chocolate at the moment!! had a day off work today so spent the morning in the gym .. an hour long class of RPM/Spin followed by weights so was feeling good ... but i just can't seem to say no to chocolate :mad: (a friend had a big bag of those little dime bars so i HAD to have 4 of course!!!). I know they're not massive but got home and BF had a chocolate cheesecake 2-pack :eek: ... well, it would have been rude not to!

    on the plus side, another NSD :T .. think this is the longest i've gone since the lent challenge. aim is to save it until saturday night.

    I'm watching. You wouldn't want me to thrust in rudely would you?

    Besides, I'm moving so spending will be [STRIKE]erotic[/STRIKE] erratic over the next few weeks.

    i am so jealous of you!! i CAN'T stop eating chocolate at the moment!!

    I don't know why I feel like that, if somebody puts chocolate in front of me (as if they would!) I eat the whole bar, but in the shops I look at them and can't be bothered, VERY weird :confused: . But I'm not complaining, and with a bit of luck I might even lose some weight.

    ZDT, we wouldn't want you to thrust in rudely, either (What? I can't believe I just said that :rolleyes: )
