    I have done really well in this challenge - not been buying "unnecessary" coffees, lunches, etc for ages now! Long may it continue!!

  • Another mag not bought today. That was £3.50

    So my total now is £47.31. I am saving towards my weekend away with some peeps from another forum in May!

  • I've still not bought any magazines - can't believe this! :T

    The pile of old ones is going down nicely too, hopefully my coffee table will be a clutter free zone by the end of the month :j will get rid of them on freecycle when I'm finished the whole lot ;)

    I will not buy anymore toys from charity shops for my kids no matter how much of a bargain they are!! They have far too many toys anyway and probably dont need anymore buying for them for the next 10 years!! I hearby resolve that I am not going to buy any toys for either of them until my sons birthday in April. Amen

    First day back at work and I've not bought anything. I brought in my own lunch and then went for a walk to resist temptation of buying anything out of boredom. Hopefully I'll be losing weight and getting fitter as well as saving money. Hooray:j
