Happy New Year

Good afternoon lovely DFWs

Now for anyone looking in, please feel free to join - the more the merrier! Basically, decide on the amount you want to spend up to from Sunday until the end of the working day on Friday then pledge it here and off we go! The challenge is about incidental spending and not for stuff that should be budgeted elsewhere such as bills, groceries, debt repayment etc but you decide what to include at the end - this is about changing your habits and improving your recording of your spends more than anythng else.

Have a great week everyone and keep it low!!!

Hey all!! Well, time to get back into the MSE swing of things.

Please add me back onto the list Pap, I will go for £50 this week. A big chunk for the first Moosie challenge of the New Year you might think??? But it is my birthday on the 4th of Jan (my 24th!) and I'm driving up to see my Dad, who I've not seen since my last birthday!
I intend to make it a very worthwhile and entertaining trip!

I was given a bottle of vodka as a Christmas present so that will be coming with me, and I shall make good use of it!!:D

Happy New Year to ya all!!

Thanks PAP, was definitely under but I can't remember how much by, I must keep more of a note of this :rolleyes:

Skipping this week for NYE

See you next week

Skint_Catt · 29 December 2007 at 9:51PM

Misc spends £20 for me please. I've got everything budgeted elsewhere that I need - petrol etc.

redsquirrel80 · 29 December 2007 at 10:07PM

I lost track a bit this week - that's what happens when I'm away from the computer and can't update on here & my spreadsheets! Think I spent about £20 so I'm definitely red.

Will try for £20 this week!

Mrs_Sparkle · 29 December 2007 at 10:26PM

OK, time to climb back on this wagon. I think I'll go with £20 this week. Have done a massive food shop and have got plenty of stuff in to make lunches so I shouldn't need to spend much at all. We'll see...
