The challenge

This may be a fools errand, or even a monumentally stupid idea.  I don't think I'll succeed at anyrate.  But, with any luck, this blog may at least be mildly entertaining for the next 4 weeks.

Back in July, the government ordered all departments to find 40% of cuts in spending.

In my industry, public relations, we've seen this become a reality - and on my other blog you can read more about what I feel about that.

But can I do this in my own life?

Well, we'll soon find out... Starting on Monday 27th September, this blog will track my progress as I try and spend 4 weeks cutting 40% from my own outgoings.

At worst I'll fail. At best I may save some extra cash and get some new clothes or a holiday or something.
