If we're doing another one next month, can we have a couple of days in between for a treat? Eve magazine have a free book this month and I've resisted so far but it would be nice to have a day or two 'off' the challenge, without failing lol

Spendy, shall let you into a little secret, but shhsh, as Feb has 29 days I was going to let people have a day in Feb be it the 29th or a day they choose just not to do the challenge, so they can indulge in a can of coke, a shop bought sarnie, a copy of Eve....Choose your day

Sarah93 & Pippo, you have been added.

Have decided to add no more for Jan now as its the 10th tomorrow. Obviously peeps can start their own challenge now, (who am I to stop them, lol!) but will officially start the next one in Feb.

Now for those us us doing this, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Another £3.18 worth NOT bought today. How embarressing. I don't even miss them!

My first non-kebab of Berlin, 2008...was bloody hard after sitting through 2 hours of linguistics with a rumbling tummy then walking past the shop, but I did it, and it's all down to this challenge!

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

There will be you S/Chick with a clutter-free coffee table and me with an empty re-cycling bottle box!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Mrs MH, would you really have spent nearly £70 on magazines in just 10 days? Wow!

My first week over at work and I've not bought any food at work the whole week. Not only that but I've not bought any drinks either. So have saved myself at least £12.50 which will go into my little piggy.:j

No, thats since the 12th of Dec. Still a lot. I used to think I was spending £20 per month

And I can live without them!

I could cry at all the money I have wasted over the years.
