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

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!!! Moozie x

    Went a little bit wrond last week and spent £29.40...... £24.20 was on a meal on Friday night which was a) meant to be on Sat, thus not included in the challenge and b) not budgetted for anyway, as I forgot about it until Thurs :o

    So I only *really* spent £5.20, but still over budget!

    I'll go for £5 again this week please Pap

    Missed last week and did very badly the week before but now have a new budget in operation - so will allow £10 for unbudgeted stuff for this week - and try to spend nothing!
