Just hoping my colleagues don't suggest lunch today - I'll take something with me & not my purse!
Good Luck everyone

CAFCGirl, I was wondering how you were. What fantastic news!!!!! So glad you dumped the last guy. And what a lovely story. Good old Facebook, eh?

CAFCGirl

Facebook would appear to have ALL the answers!

First day of the challenge and Im thinking I should give up something else as well as unnecessary spending, CAFCFan (AKA Mum) is giving up sweets and chocolate, not sure Im strong enough for that just yet!

Didnt spend anything today, and am off to update the signature

I forgot and I spent £2.10 on a coffee on the train on the way home (I do have a long journey) when I sat down with it I thought OhmiGod I could have bought two lottery tickets, four chunky kitkats, bla bla bla...of jsut still had it in my pocket I won't forget tomorrow....

Hi All and congratulations CAFCGirl - that is such a lovely story - I wish you all the best. :kisses2:

I cannot believe that this challenge has come around already (although I know easter is early). I did this challenge last year and was really good, so much so I had money in bank at the end of the challenge and it really helped me to sort out my spending habits. Last year though the kids did suffer as I didn't spend anything on them either - so pleased to hear that they are exempt (I know they will be pleased also!!!).

I am also doing PaP's weekly challenge, so will do the both alongside each other (sorry, can't think of the correct word at this moment in time). Haven't spent anything since lent began, so let the good times roll

Oh fell at the first hurdle... ended up spending on lunch.. I thought I wasinvited out .. then the other two offered their money & I folowed suit(?)

CAFCGirl

ahhh Pippo, there is time to redeem yourself hun.... rice cakes for the weekend perhaps!? LOL only joking....

Had little forewarning about this one this year so understandably it might take us all a while to get into it..... well thats my excuse anyway!

Got lunch sorted for today but have freakish desire for cadburys creme egg....
