    I'd like to sign up for 20 .

    I got fired from my job yesterday & trying to save as much as I can,
    I get paid on the 7th August. But I have a month to get a new job before we start struggling.
    I'll be using my wedding savings for emergencies if worst comes to worse and my fiance has a lot stashed away in case.

    I spent £2.30 today but on cereal as we had nothing for breakfast.
    So I won't count it.

    I won't medicines / needed tablets such as hayfever (i suffer badly)
    And bills, normal shopping or things that have been allocated a budget

    Sorry to hear about your job :(
    I hope you get a new job really soon.
    Good luck with the challange!

    I'd like to sign up with a target of 7 this month please. The kids are off school, we're away a lot and other issues are making this not my top priority. I'd still like to beat my total of 5 last month though.

    My only exclusions are DDs and SOs.

    YOu can do it :)

  • First NSD for me - even managed to go into Waitrose (for the first time ever) and be impressed by how lovely it was, and not spend anything but just swap something from an online shop :A:rotfl:
