I made it through another weekend, Ladies :)It's Day 20 for me!!
Wow Trish your doing Great!! I am so green..LOL!!Day 13.
Hi I'm Rosabelle and it's only been 2 days since I last bought any books, planning to make it a month, so let's see if i can last without buying a book for another 28 days.. 28 more days and counting..
Today is Day 14 I have been book buying free..smiles.
So... today is my three week mark. 21 Days and no small feat for those of you who know me. However, my hubby just called me and said that he is placing an order at Amazon and wanted to know if there was any book that he could buy for me so he can get the free shipping. And I said... yes. (I mean who wants to pay shipping when you can get a whole 'nuther book, right?!?) As much as I would love to say it's a gift--- it's really not since I could have said no.
It was fun while it lasted... back to Day none.
If he pays for it. I can see a free book there..LOL!!
Debi wrote: "If he pays for it. I can see a free book there..LOL!!"He did pay and technically, I didn't go book shopping, the shopper came to me... is that my "get out of jail free" card?!?!
Trish I would say so!! Keep your roll going your doing so great. :D!!
Okay in 15 mins. and it will be Day 17 for me..smiles.
Ok, so most of you know I'm trying to hold off from buying more books. Anyway my husband just got $40 out of our checking account for his go-kart. (He races them), and he told me to go ahead and buy $40 worth of books. Now my question is, should I buy some or should I just wait and see how long I can hold out?
Debi, I know what you will say, and I am thinking about those new Heather Graham books that are coming out, but I've been so good lately.
You all will be my deciding factor. So far it has been 15 days (I think) since I have even looked at new books.
Let me know what you think.
Well I made almost 9 days but I bought a book today so back to 25 minutes.

If it an open offer I would wait.
He didn't say, but I'm thinking open.
Yay, I made it the whole week without buying a book even though I went to the bookstore twice this week. Well done Me so far :)
You go Trish!!!I had to go ahead and order some last night, because my husband kept asking me if I had ordered any yet. I was afraid he would change his mind. LOL

Back to 10 minutes. I bought a book for a friend. More for me on Thursday.
I don't think you should have to start over if you bought a book for a friend..smiles. I think it is if you buy the book for you..smiles. So to be fair to you I think you should still be at Day 2 or is it 3 now..smiles.
