| Green_Raven | Resisted Temptation! I even went around the shops today with £10 in my purse and I didn't spend anything! Woohoo! I'm making progress! |
| Green_Raven | Next Challenge! If you want to continue with this challenge after the next 2 days, I've created Stop Reckless Spending 2! You can join here: http://toolstolife.com/challenges/show/124/ |
| oops1 that message got sent before i wrote anything!!!!ive enjoyed this challenge, but it is too easy for me because when you only have a certain amount of money you really take care of it!!!!enioyed it!!!!!!!!! |
| hey,all |
| Green_Raven | Wow! Just 2 days to go!
Surething, I can't believe you haven't slipped one bit, how do you exercise such great self-control! I slipped at the weekend, but determined not to again! I may have to create a new challenge to stop reckless spending! Anyone care to join me? |
| declutter hey you all since this is almost over come join me in decluttering starts tommorrow! |
| Green_Raven | You're still doing well! LOL, You're still doing well Surething, you could spend the little money you have on luxuries rather than on food you need, I know many people who have done this, and I'm one of them! (Well, I spent on luxuries then couldn't afford my credit card bills that month - have you ever been charged by all your credit cards in one month for not paying any of them? It's expensive!). |
| its easy!!!!!!!!!! when you are on disability, almost feels like im cheating . lol!!!!!!!!! |
| Green_Raven | Slipping! I'm slipping! Been good today though!  |
| Green_Raven | Well Done! Oooh, Well Done Zendra!! |
| Been there I hear you.
I am back on track. |
| Green_Raven | Great! Glad you're doing so well!
Unfortunately I slipped a little (it must be catching!). I spent £3.99 on a PS2 game in a Charity Shop. Does it still count as it was for charity and only a small amount of money?
Hmm, it isn't a necessity, so definitely a luxury and not needed. How can I remotely argue that a video game was "needed" ??

| Green raven your great No more art books. But I brought 2 reference books so if I didn't know how to do something I could look up th technique. I also brought 2 brushes that I needed and been looking for for 3 months. But I am finished with the art books.
I have completed all the stuff on drawscketch and am working my way through wetcanvas now, which I love, it is so cool. |
| Green_Raven | Help Zenda! Oh dear Zenda you need help!
Are you spending less when you are spending, or is it a kind of "sod it" and spend your normal blowing it amount on them?
Is there anyway you can avoid the shops, or avoid the aisles that sell your art books? Are you getting them on the way to or from work?
If you're looking for help with art you could try http://drawsketch.about.com for some great tips, step-by-steps and projects, or http://www.wetcanvas.com, a friendly art forum, for questions, challenges, step-by-steps in all mediums.
Hoping to try to find a way to help distract you away from your spending habit!!!
Good Luck! |
| today was another bad day more art books I am struggling

| Green_Raven | Hello! Hello Bluejeans, welcome to TOOLS! Feel free to join us on our challenge, you can only join before the challenge has begun. But please feel free to post how your doing on here and we'll all join in and encourage you!
Hello NicoleT too! I have the exact same problem, which is why I set up this challenge! I didn't feel I could do it alone, so I'm joining forces, so I'd feel ashamed if I broke it (which I have once!), by all means join in and we'll help you! I'm thinking of creating a new challenge when this one runs out, and you can all join and have a bar to fill in your progress!
Good Luck! |
 NicoleT. | I would love to not spend anything If I have money, for some reason I need to buy SOMETHING whether it is another bottle of conditioner for my hair (I have like 15 bottles) to hitting the dollar store and buying stuff that I think will help me get organized when really all it is , is bringing more junk into my house. Whatever, if I have money, I spend it. Cut off my hands, Not really but, I cannot resist. I have tried everything HELP |
| bluejeans | Hiya from A Newbie Hiya I would like to join you all on your challenge. I overeat and overspend and I am looking for help and support. Just found this site. |
| Green_Raven | I fell off too! Don't worry Zenda, I did a little yesterday too, I was buying gifts for a friend's birthday, and they had those 4 for £8 offers, so I bought two books and shared the deal with my Mum, so she bought the other two books. It worked out I spend £2 per book, one was a gift and one was for me!
I plan not to spend anything today though, and I'm going out shopping again today, so gotta stick to groceries only!
Wish me Luck! |
| fell off the wagon brought some art books. will get back on |
