This is a really tough challenge - I have only managed 5 No Spend Days since I started on the 8 August.

Today when I got home DD showed me a fever blister on her mouth - ouch. So off to the pharmacy $2.71 for the ointment.

Needed gas so another $22 and that will only last until next week.

Not large sums of money but the end of a No Spend Day.

Having read other journals I think that to start out I must try for 10 days out of the month versus the 7 - 14 consecutive days some of you are doing.
This is definitely a mind set and it sure makes you realise how disorganised you are or how much better things would be with the forward planning.

Will be diving into the deepfreeze tonight for a homemade precooked meal - just don't feel like cooking tonight - at least we are avoiding the takeouts.

In fact we haven't had takeout since the beginning of August - Hmmm didn't think that this was possible.

Had to add water to the swimming pool today so that will boost the water usage for the month. Urrgh...

DD has grown again - I swear I am going to put bricks on her head Everytime I look her clothes are too small or getting too small. Wish she had an older sibling for the hand me downs or an older cousin... but her cousin is a year younger and 2 sizes smaller - don't think that would work?

Guess I will be back in my sewing room again this weekend...
