  • another £3.30 today!

    Amazing how much I could have potentially spent on magazines.

    Also is making me seriously realise just how much money I have wasted in the past! :eek:

    I am away tomorrow till Sun so be good! :D

    Just come across this thread and it's great & I'd love to join

    My biggest weakness is books which are usually bought on Monday when I help out at a local charity shop.
    New Year Resolution for 2007 was no more books but failed miserably after about 4 weeks
    This challenge is what I need as I would feel the need to confess!

    So, I promise to give up buying books, both new and secondhand, until the end on January 2008

    PS Congrats to everyone who has already signed up and doing so well

  • Haven't taken a fancy to any mags.

    But with Jan coming up & new mags I will be terribly tempted so my "no mags" savings will rise.

  • I'm doing well so far, no magazines bought at all (although I did buy the cheapie tv guide for xmas and new year for 80p - that doesn't count, right?).

    Will be difficult come Jan I reckon, will need all my resolve!
