    Ooo I'd love to try this, but I will probably join in the new year. I have at least one big day out pre-arranged every weekend until Christmas now and would definitely struggle to only spend £10!

    Good luck everyone, I'm interested to see how it goes!

    Aw thanks, I'm really glad its helping you !
    I don't think I'd be spending anything today,
    I'm in bed on doctors orders.

    I was thinking , would it be easier if this challenge was from the 25th - 31st (or finishes on the 1st for months with only 30 days) ?

    Next month is a little tricky as it is Christmas but you won't have to post on Christmas day or boxing day.
