I am so glad I have joined the challenge. I thought I was quite well off this month but when I worked out all I need to spend such as school dinners and activities, I am actually short! So this is the start and I am going to achieve DDD! Thanks all who post for your great motivation!

I'm in but it's my birthday and I'm out to lunch next Friday. I have dropped a meal out this month already as per number 6. Using birthday and Christmas vouchers and money for personal shopper at debenhams sales and will only by sale stuff that i need anyway.

Hi NSK, I'm not joining in the challenge but I have recently been following the thread with interest, however I just wanted to say thank you..

I was reading the challenges the other day and really liked the idea of the food bank one (and read the link you posted back to Jack's blog on the subject). Anyway, yesterday I finally become debt free and as a result of this thread and the link you posted, I decided to buy £10's worth of bits this weekend.

I then came into work to find we were all being refunded the £30 we'd put into the team Christmas drinks kitty as the company will pay for the amount the permies put in. So, today I unexpectedly got my £30 back - so will take the children to Tescos this weekend and we'll buy £30 of bits instead of £10.. Pllussss.... I was looking on the Trussell Trust site and Tesco will add an extra 30% to the donations this weekend so that's roughly an extra £12 on top of the £30

Just wanted to mention how this thread prompted me to take alook at the food banks and help out this month :beer:

Shortie thank you for such an amazing post! Congratulations on your debt freedom and what a brilliant addition from Tesco's. Thank you for such a great donation to the cause - your kiddies will have fun filling a trolley and that £30 is a LOT of food. Thank you for posting!!!

Can I join this month please? I failed miserably for November (hence the lack of posts - I failed before I even started!) - but I need to give it another go - and keep on going!

Never tried anything this strict, but I'll give it a go, count me in...!

*Jellie*

I'd like to join in please. Will do me good to have serious think about planned spending and not to get anything outside that.

Well just been working a few figures out and Im in the muddy mire of debtedness!!!! I will have to spend as little as possible up to Xmas and then only the necessary. I have all bills on DD, so they should be OK, but I have started the month so heavily in my OD that theres only enough to cover them and a bit left before I go over my upper limit

So its eating as much as possible out of the cupboards and I will also smash the Terrumundi as that was Xmas spending money, mind you theres probably only about £13 in it as its full of pennies etc

So here I go again, next year I will be clear of my CCs and OD and no messing about this time.
