It is partly through popping into a charity shop because I don't always get the opportunity to go in when they are open and also going into a supermarket because it was a good time to see if they had any end-of-day reductions :(Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956590283954337779.post-65405018638163561762009-04-02T01:29:00.000-07:002009-04-02T01:29:00.000-07:00I did actually (just) manage 20 days in March but ...I did actually (just) manage 20 days in March but it was definately a challenge as the sun started to peek out... from now on I think I will aim for 15, as in the Summer months I always find it harder!

April will be harder because there will be the Easter holiday and being out of routine means there is more temptation....Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956590283954337779.post-76236159095240836172009-02-28T05:33:00.000-08:002009-02-28T05:33:00.000-08:00I very seldom spend money on working days except f...I very seldom spend money on working days except for some food shopping once a week or once a fortnight if I can manage it. It works out cheaper on petrol if I call in to the supermarket on the way home. And as my husband and I work at the same place, there are two of us in the car so that is economical too. I don't buy magazines apart from allowing myself one if we are away on holiday. My husband gets one magazine on subscription when I found a really extra special offer on one he liked to read if he could. I never buy coffees and so on. Doesn't that sound virtuous! The truth is that there is nowhere near us to buy one and as we would have to travel by car to get to somewhere, there is no real temptation.<BR/><BR/>I'm up for 20 no spend days in March other than bills.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.com
