Hi everyone :wave:

Front page post just updated, I think everyone's on there but please check that I haven't missed you off or got the numbers wrong (sorry ETO )

Welcome back to all the returnees (that's probably better than "oldies":D) good to have you on board again

Welcome back to stripeyjumpergirl, good to see you again:) You just missed my update, I'll add you to the front page post the next time I update. In the meantime, find yourself a chair and make yourself comfortable:)

After spending too much this month I think I need to stop lurking and join in!! Can I go for 10 please?

Been a long time (previous username!) since I've done one of these but the email inspired me to try again.

Going to go for 20 No Spend Days :eek: But not including fuel, food or baby spends as no idea how much she'll end up costing if she doesn't get on with nappies etc.

Hello! I had been on this site since 2008, but had not used it since last year. I attempted to log in but after a few attempts, I gave up and started a brand new account! I was so keen to sign up to this!!

Anyway, please put me down for 15 NSDs for July!

Im not going to include my other half spending any money as its very rare he does, its me with the spending problem! Im not going to count any bills as theyre not a choice. I AM going to count my naughty takeaways/nail polish/clothes spends! I was spending money everyday on things for me, and considering my hubby is earning money for 4 of us, I HAVE to change!

Wish me luck, its nice to be back!

Hi all I'm gonna have a go for the first time. It's gonna be a tad weird as I'm 4weekly paid so when I spend it might look scary to me if no one else lol.

I'm gonna try for 15 no spend days.

Hoping it'll encourage me to meal plan better. I'm gonna ignore bills as they all live in a separate account so the plan is to account for all unnecessary and shopping spends to try and stop the money going down the drain. Might end up with money left over to pay stuff off one day
Good luck everyone

Ps do we kinda check in most days with whether we've spent?

It's great to have you on board, pull up a chair and make yourself at home:)

I'll add you all to the front page post tomorrow and reply to your posts individually but I didn't want you to think you were being neglected:)

Hi all

Well it's payday (FINALLY!) so my month starts today - and it will start with a spend day unfortunately as I am off with DS. Hoping to just spend the playcentre entry and a pre-agreed payment for some second hand (although perfect condition) Maisy books to put away for Christmas. Will also have a spend day tomorrow on groceries although that's from the budget so I won't be counting it. Any further spends tomorrow will be counted though.

Good luck all!
