My hand blender from Nielsen Homescan arrived today so I'm adding £30 as that is what it would have cost to buy.

That brings my total earnings/savings for this year to £1690.86

Hi folks - a lurker here so please be gentle!

I've seen these challenges for many moons now and have been inspired by you all however, I work many hours, have 2 children to ferry to and from school, cook dinner and then go back out again for their social diaries, that I don't have the energy to get onboard with you all. Is there a formula/routine you work to? I would love to join you, but I know that if I didn't complete the first week, then I would just give up. I only get to do basic "flylady" stuff due to my working hours, and I don't want to burden myself into failure by joining your monthly challenges too. Is there a "basics" level that I could achieve?

Thanks in advance as I really want to do this.

You can set your target as whatever you'd like it to be, so there is no pressure for it to be £10 a day. Lots of people do £5 a day, some do £2/3, it really is up to you.
Follow as much as you can, and feel free to ask questions if there's something you see anyone talking about that you're not 100% sure what it is but sounds like it could be something for you.
And it's up to you ho much you post. Some of us only post when we have money to add, some post for a bit of chit-chat in between. (Guilty )
But if you try and pop in every couple of days then I think people find it helps them stay motivated and keep the challenge in mind.

Can you get this on your phone? Mine's not that fancy so I don't know :cool: as maybe you could pop on and post to the challenge while you are in the car waiting to do your taxi duties if you're waiting to pick one of the children up?

Even if you just have your challenge in mind when you're going round the supermarket, as it might help give you an incentive to not put that extra thing in the trolley that you don't really need, or buy the slightly cheaper spaghetti... etc.
