    Can I try for 10 in September please.  On holiday for a week, so may not even reach this target.  Failing abysmally since I started this challenge!
    @Tahlullah.H no you aren't. well I don't think so anyway! You're nearly at target. Plus it's tough out there right now! xx

    I'll try for 15 again please @cathy@cathybird

    My real issue is what happens on the Spendy days. If it's planned spending is that okay??

    I have a NSD for Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday, which puts me on #16/15

    Many thanks for a huge effort @cathybird - It's made a massive difference to me this month in that I am thinking hard about if I really need anything. I need to figure out how to not buy 2 things instead of the one thing I needed on the Spend days though... but I guess, I'm not £20k in debt because of great will power, so I'll see how September goes...

    (I'm spending tomorrow! I'm not even going to pretend to try!  >:) )
