to follow up on ...
... the buying nothing post.
Remembered the name of the journalist - Judith Levine. The book is 'Not Buying It: My year without shopping'.
You can see more details about it Here . The article is extracted from the book.
Still need to think about how to enthuse DP and the children on this idea. Maybe suggesting doing this for a week, and then a month?

You can read a blog from some other people, in California, who are in the middle of a whole YEAR of Buy Nothing -

I think doing it for a whole year would be even more ...er, "intresting" than just for one month! After all, with certain items, you could easily say "Oh, I guess I could wait four weeks for that and then get it when the Challenge is over" whereas if you had to wait FIFTY-TWO weeks .. well!

Oh yes :-) I like the idea of doing a year... but DP has agreed to a month on the terms of the downsizer challenge, so we shall go from there :-)
