    Whoops, planned to make it one today, made it round town without caving. Then orders some solar lights on mata!an site :o have been on the look out for them though, they were online a few weeks ago in their new range, then disappeared and weren't in store when I checked on sun, guess they were delayed from the rest of the range at the suppliers. So nabbed them before they went off again...got 20% off though :money: :rotfl:

    Challengers list updated to here.

    Welcome along mobo1980, frugaldances, nelly11 and JoJoC. :hello: good luck with the challenge. If you haven't already please look through post 4 on page 1 as it will give you some guidance. But if you need to ask any questions just fire away.

    And we don't F.A.I.L on this challenge, we just might not quite achieve target, just remember every NSD is an achievement. Also you set your rules, some of us include all spends and direct debits etc, others include spends that are outside of budgets, it just has to work for you. :D

    Welcome back to all the regulars. :wave:

    I'll update as often as I can but sometimes real life gets in the way, and I have loads to do before I go back to work after my mat leave (5 weeks :(:()

    Can I join please?

    I like the idea of this challenge because I can never go in a shop and just buy the thing I want. Each day I can avoid the temptation I will save my purse.

    Can I go for 16 days and 4 in a row x 2

    I had a NSD today and planning same for next 2 days. Easter May be difficult but I will just have to plan.

    Great thread idea. :T
