and a word from our much missed cow
'Now for anyone looking in, please feel free to join - the more the merrier! Basically, decide on the amount you want to spend up to from Sunday until the end of the working day on Friday then pledge it here and off we go! The challenge is about incidental spending and not for stuff that should be budgeted elsewhere such as bills, groceries, debt repayment etc but you decide what to include at the end - this is about changing your habits and improving your recording of your spends more than anythng else.
The reason the challenge is up to Friday is that I like to give myself a day off the counting and let my hair down a bit'
how did you all get on?
I did quite well last week, 3 nsd's and the days I did spend I'm happy enough that I didn't squander my money
right folks, I'll catch up with your updates this evening xxx
