What are you giving?

I'm in... assuming I don't give in when Steed's in town.

Anyone else in?
I'll get the list up 24 hours from now...tick tock. Monday night at 1 second after midnight (Tuesday), it begins.
Anyone signing up after the deadline is playing the home game.

I'm in.

Did a bunch of alterations this weekend.. probably jumped the gun on those eh?

Well, it appears that it will be much easier to forgo clothing purchases this month. I just found an apartment to move into with my girlfriend Between move in costs and furniture there shouldn't be much left over with which to indulge.

So, on that note... Bring it on, shopping abstinence! Let's do this!

You're fine. I gave everyone this past weekend off. We officially start 1 second after midnight tonight.

Day One. I splurged on a couple things this weekend, but now I'm back in the NPC for April. March actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, so hopefully April is just as easy.

I assume tailoring/mending supplies like thread or polish are ok as long as we stay in the $100 socks/underwear/tailor limit.

Also redid the hem on these pants and added a nice igent touch.

I'm in. I need to get a few things altered to fit a little better, but it shouldn't be more than $100. As far as buying new stuff, there is nothing I really need.

im in because i is teh poor

Sign me up.

If I have missed anyone, please alert me immediately. Alright boys, we are underway. No excuses now. You've got your $100 allowances and no more. You agree to adhere to the guidlines as sated on page 1 of this thread. Additionally, you may sell whatever you like on B&S but are not to spend any funds generated. The first step on the road to strength is to admit weakness. Should you feel that you are weakening, post it here and we will talk you down. I wish you all success in taking this personal challenge. For those who are non-member lurkers and playing the home game, success to you all as well. We'll take late entries until MIDNIGHT Friday April 08, though you won't receive full credit, however, better late than not at all. LATE ENTRIES do NOT get an allowance! Good luck everyone! Time to save $$. Any spending beyond the $100 allowance must be fairly reported here. If you end up in the Dog House or worse, you cannot buy your way out, no matter how much you earned on B&S. I'll update this post as necessary as we go, to serve as an 'in progress' playcard. Late Entries (Friday April 08 Cut-Off) - - - The Dog House (1 item purchased) - - - The List Of Incorrigibles (2 or More Items Purchased) - - -

So I offered to pick up some shoes for the ex, does that count? I'm not really looking forward to buying them though, she wants the toms shoes, but i know she has been wanting them for a while. I do not want to take a $85 hit for shoes that are
1. Hideous in my opinion
2. Super trendy
3. Make people feel better because they donate a pair?!?! Great marketing scheme, but I don't buy into it.
4. For a girl that is not my s.o.

So how would I go about asking for the money? I mean she has a boyfriend, but what if she does not offer to pay. She did not ask for them but had texted me about trying to find them in her size for two weeks or something like that.
