Didn’t spend today, instead enjoyed watching Countryfile on TV (my favourite Sunday program!) reading my new book from the library, listening to Vinyl Cafe (Canada’s best export – definitely worth a listen to these wonderful stories!) and Sigur Ross, making a new recipe, reading articles online from the Guardian, Times and New York Times. A simple, relaxing, enjoyable day, which will be finished with a nice hot cup of tea!
No Spending 8/18 – only another 10 days and I’m @ my goal!
Just found your blog while searching for countryfile on google. Good luck with the Downshifting.
Good to see you like Countryfile too. All hail the Craven.
Have you ever read the Countryfile Magazine?

Countryfile Magazine – if this isn’t in the budget have you thought of looking to see if it’s available to read at your local library?

I love the idea no-spending days. However, that is hard to do when there are kids involve and they don’t really understand what it means not to spend any money!
Good luck!
