moozies weekly challenge w/c 27th Jan 2008

Options
Welcome all...
Coucou24.gif I hope you have had a great week and kept it low... and are you ready to be turned red/green? Everyone can join, just post a target in keeping with you/your debts/your spends, don’t worry about everyone else’s budgets. Then each day post on the daily spends thread and add them all up ready to post the following Saturday/Sunday. The challenge runs from Sunday to the Friday... Everyone welcome... Please don't worry if you have gone over budget and will be turned red it happens... to me more than anyone else.

Have a great week drinks.gif

And a word from our sponser ~
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 anything else.

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

    Well I have £9.10 in my signature, plus the £1.10 from today so £10.20 :D

    This week, erm, £10 should do it.

    Hiya PAP!

    Put me down for the rather random amount of £5.14 for this week!!

    I've worked out this year that if I had not got 3xtaxis (late for work x 3!!!!!!! :o )this year I would have only spent £4.67 on spends this year so I have lowered my weekly amount to an average of £1/day this month. Unfortunately 1 of those taxi journeys was on friday so has cut into what I have left for the month :o hence the random amt! :rotfl:

    OMG, I was like 20% under my budget! :j So I need to turn green

    I have no idea what I'll spend this week. That probably isn't a good thing. I think £10 should do it.
