    Fiscal Fast Day 7

    I blame Martin for my spending today! :money: (thanks for the heads up on the Boots 70% off sale)

    My daughters love Soap and Glory and it would have been rude not to have joined the party.

    So why do I feel so guilty?

    Happy Friday everyone

    Fiscal Fast Day 9

    Another great day.

    We had a lovely couple of hours this afternoon at Tate St Ives using our locals pass.

    Only spend was with Groupon today - £8.50 for our family to go to Carnglaze Caverns in April. Dead chuffed

    Hope you have all had a super weekend :D

    Fiscal Fast Day 11

    Without question having a determined reason for this financial fast is making the challenge SO much easier. My daughter's wedding in the US drives me to make this challenge work.

    I know it is only Day 11 but I am feeling very resolute.

    So how did my day go?

    Apart from bread my only expenditure was £8.15 on items that I am going to sell on ebay to generate more cash...wish me well :D

    Fiscal Fast Day 15

    A VERY low spend day - just bread and a pamper foot set from our local British Heart Foundation shop.

    I like shopping in charity shops as it helps my money go further and I'm supporting great causes.

    How is everyone else doing?

    Fiscal Fast Day 16

    Wahoo - another NSD, my favourite kind of day :j

    I'm REALLY pleased with how I'm doing but there is a downside!
    I LOVE bargain hunting BUT the easiest way not to spend is not to go anywhere near the shops in the first place! and I love, love, love shopping! I am going to have to find something else that also gives me the same buzz?

    Any thoughts?

    P.S. It is quite lonely being the only poster at the moment....do you want to join the party?
