i know the nightmare of open or not open,.
Ive only been doing the challenge since the middle of february and in that time ive opened and counted my money box twice because i have no will power.
In the end i forced myself to buy a large tin that can only be opened with a can opener so its staying shut until its full!
although it was only £2 for the tin so if i really want to open it i could just buy another0 -
Just back from shopping & another £5.62 in mine - I've got extra money till payday and thought rather than go "wheeeee I can go shopping" decided to be restrained & donate extra to piggy. Some of you may realise what a immense habit chage this is for me as someone who would happily spend hundreds on her cc in one sitting so to save rather than spend is HUGE!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1!
