Usual rules:
The challenge runs from January 1st to January 31st.

Set a NSD target, aim for at least 15. - Aim is 15
Donate to a charity - will do this
Pay to your debt or savings first Pay day was yesterday - money has already been allocated for bills etc.
Post as often as you can Will try and do daily posts

January's rules:
Look at your usual food budget and aim to spend 10% less. Do a stock take of everything in your freezer/fridge/cupboards - I have a budget of £300 for month for food, toiletries and dog food. Will try and only spend £270 of that.
Post 3 things that you are grateful for each time you post
Post something that you would like to have achieved by the end of 2017 - think about how you will achieve this, break your goal down into small achievable steps. To have saved as much as possible for my wedding 5 November. I have a target of how much should go into the wedding fund each month
Organise some cheap (free if possible) things to do with family or friends. January is a long and usually boring month, it's nice to have things to look forward to Its my birthday month but we have some vouchers to use at TGI Fridays so I'm thinking birthday meal for free .

My plan all set out! Happy new year everyone.

I'm grateful for having someone who wants to spend the rest of their life with me, my home and the change for a fresh start.

Pay to your debt or savings first Always
Post as often as you can Will try my best

January's rules:
Look at your usual food budget and aim to spend 10% less. Do a stock take of everything in your freezer/fridge/cupboards I love doing stock takes! Have ordered my food deliveries today, won't be aiming for a budget decrease but will (as always) aim to come in under budget
Post 3 things that you are grateful for each time you post Such a good idea
Post something that you would like to have achieved by the end of 2017 - think about how you will achieve this, break your goal down into small achievable steps. 2017 Goals-Pay 1500 off my debts this year, lose enough weight that I can fit into my beloved leopard print coat next winter

January's rules:
Look at your usual food budget and aim to spend 10% less. Do a stock take of everything in your freezer/fridge/cupboards - I seem to have heaps of food left over from Christmas despite thinking that I hadn't bought that much! I too have lots of food in and will do full stock take once the kids back at school next week
Post 3 things that you are grateful for each time you post I like this idea
Post something that you would like to have achieved by the end of 2017 - think about how you will achieve this, break your goal down into small achievable steps. I want to lose weight this coming year, I will continue with the gym on days the kids are at school and aim to do at least 1 fast day a week
Organise some cheap (free if possible) things to do with family or friends. January is a long and usually boring month, it's nice to have things to look forward to I will make the most of the Nowtv free trial for Movies to enjoy with the kids on a weekend afternoon, will get out on their bikes when we can, will use clubcard vouchers we've converted to days out tokens to take the kids to the local (but very expensive) swimming play pool thing. Will play more board games we have with them also

Starting the way I mean to go on
3 things I'm grateful for
* My lovely husband being home for the holidays with us and looking at lot more chilled then normal
* Calling in at the right time at the co0p to pick up some great ys bargains this morning
* That my son is loving his first pair of glasses (i'm sure the novelty will wear off!)
