The June Challenge

Luke and I are young. We’re child, debt and semi-responsibility free (apart from the beautiful Miss P- but she has plenty of babysitters!). We both work, and if truth be told, we have plenty disposable income.

All this means that we eat out at resturaunts and lunch places. A lot. And by a lot I mean that some weeks we only eat 2 dinner meals at home, and have those two leftovers for lunch. Everything else we buy. :-S It’s a pretty sad state of affairs.

With a few hopeful things on the horizon for my 24th year (you’ll hear more about when I [finally] write up my 24 by 24), all of which costing heaps of money, we think we had better get saving!

I’m only telling you all this because it makes me feel incredibly guilty and irresponsible. Which makes me think it’s even more approporiate that we get into the June Challenge.

The June Challenge:

When: The month of June

What: No meals/snacks etc. to be eaten out. The only ‘food’ we can eat out is coffee (and only if we’re with friends), and groceries.

Why: 1. To save our dosh 2. To save our health 3. To save our fat from expanding.

As a bit of an encouragement, I request that you stand by me! Help me! Lord knows I need it. I shall post a bit of an update at the end of each week, and will try to include a menu plan as well. So your supportive comments would be most appreciated!!

Also, if you want to play along then you can add your post about it to the Linky Tool at the bottom of this post, and feel free to use the badge above if it fits your blog. I think together we can do this thing!!

In other news, my last assignment for this round of post-graduate study is due on Monday. I have one due on Friday, and two on Sunday. I am excited to have it all finished, and have a bit of a break before I do some unofficial learning for the rest of the year. If you’re interested in what I’ve been learning at all, or the conitnuation of my learning journey, you can find me over at Teaching Talia as well. Next week I will have some more letters to put after my name, and be one step closer to those two letters that go before…

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!
