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!!!

Hiya Pap, not joined in with this one before but I'll have a go at it this week. Going to start with a budget of £20 and see how I go on with that.

If anyone sees me spending money unnecessarily, please give me a gentle kick up the backside

I'll be spending nowt today, same as yesterday and the day before...not disciplined, just skint! Roll on Tuesday (CTC day!)

Hope78 · 10 June 2007 at 10:21AM

Had a very good week spent £12.57. This week I'm aiming for £20 again.

well i have just been out and spent a little too much

some was shopping for the house so thats not too bad... but i also spent £10.00 on a top up ~ one of my very close friends who i only chat to through internet connection (as its cheaper) is moving so... i need credit to stay in contact... fingers crossed it will last over a month :rolleyes: then i treated my mum to breakfast = £5.12 and i then got a new embroidery hoop as my old one has split = £1.79... so total for today is... £16.91 :eek: so my weekly budget was £20 so i have £3 remaining (i put the odds in my pennie jars...

good luck all :grinheart

I'm technically green as I did only spend £17.01 on my bus fares, lunches etc.. though I've been cheating myself a bit with having nights out and not counting them under any sort of budget

I've also messed up on my not smoking thing today - manged two nights out in the pub without it but got really stressed out earlier and bought some, so £2.86 today on something I don't really want or need.. horribly skint again two weeks before payday so kicking myself for spending that... :mad:

Anyway, starting afresh tomorrow.. hopefully just bus fares this week, so I'll try for £10.

Hi Pap, and everyone else of course,

I am about to be turned red :eek: :eek: as I spent £76 last week - on top of budgeted items, such as shopping. :mad:
The annoying thing is that I can't see where it has all gone, since I did nothing out of the ordinary, but even after adding it up three times, there it is.

Sorry PaP - I will try to keep to my £40 next week.

Afternoon PAP and all :hello:

Not joined in this thread for a while

but getting back on track now.We really need to get saving for our lump sum to Payplan,we have 3k saved at the moment and DH has decided he wants to change the car before he goes back to working in the yard :rolleyes: :mad: I love our car,but he says we may not have the opportunity to change it for a few years,so now would be the best time

So,my budget for the week on non essentials is going to be £5,I promise to post daily and get back into the swing of things
