How's everyone doing?? We're 7 days in now and I've spent £2.65 on unnecessary things.... BUT that's a lot better than it would've been if I weren't doing this challenge!!
Hope everyone is finding it helpful too xx
Up to now I've not spent anything on unnecessary things :j .
Doing this challenge is gaining me things in fact - yesterday was such a bad day at work that I was going on and on about needing chocolate that much but I was on this challenge that one of the bosses said he'd pay for my chocolate - result! I'm at work again today and another workmate has given me a MultiGrain Elevenses because she knows I can't buy chocolate!! Should have thought of doing this ages ago!!
Hope everyone else is doing ok.
Just nipped back on to day that the lovely boss I mentioned before has decided we've had that bad a couple of days at work he's gone to Greggs for a cream cake for us all to cheer us up. I'm going to be the size of a house - definitely going to the gym on Monday!!!0 -

Hi everyone! Went to a bbq last night but luckily I already had a couple of bottles of wine in so didn't need to buy anything to take with me. My ex dropped my son off so I blagged a lift there off him and another guest at the bbq was driving so gave us a lift home which meant I didn't have to pay for a taxi!! I've done well up to now but I'm missing the odd treat so I might find this week really hard0
