  • Today takes us to 19/20 however we won't quite make target as tomorrow is payday and shopping day and then Saturday is when my car gets filled up with fuel.
    We knew it would be tough, I would have done it if it weren't for the M6 being closed on Sunday when I was talking my daughter back to school, I had to use the toll road.

    Never mind, we will try again next month!

  • Also trying for 20 again next month, although I am tempted to try for higher, in theory we can do 26, and we are going on a trip to scotland in the Easter hols so having the tightest of March's will be quite prudent.


    Ah go on - I'm going for 25! 
    (And I'm going to wait to fill my car up with fuel until next month, keep using my husband's 8), just so I can hit my 20 target for this month lol)

    Well a very expensive spend day yesterday - varifocals needed (bit of a shock) which really damaged the wallet and was a bit depressed so forgot to buy birthday cards for my aunt and uncle which need posting today latest so today will be another spend day for me.  I'm not likely to hit my target now but am so glad i joined the challenge as it really has made me think about my spending even if i dont hit target i am not spending any unnecessary money 

    Thanks bloomfelt for your kind words and sounds like we're both having an expensive month! You've done really well and 21 is a hugely high target in a month with 29 days so well done you whatever happens

    I just want to say thankyou for running this thread as even though it's my first month taking part it really has made a huge difference and really made me think twice about all those little spends which i have nearly completely cut out this month. I have managed a day today but that will be my last one due to being away tomorrow and saturday.

    and thanks again bloomfelt :) I'm glad the thread has helped :)

  • Can you put me down for 12 again for March please Cathybird :smiley:
  • Thank you Cathybird, this thread is great at making me think and plan  NSDs.
    Could  you put me down for 10 in March please. I have lots of birthdays to plan for so I think 10 will be achievable, rather than 12.
