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

    Hi PAP, I've gone a bit astray the last couple of weeks, but I'm back this week and trying for £10 - got a bar lunch out tomorrow but other than that not a lot planned.

    Have a good week! x

    Hey!

    Am new to this, but thought it would be a good way to discipline myself. Put me down for £10, please...

    Can I join this? Think this will be a good motivator!

    Edit - just realised this isn't for the groceries etc. Put me down for £5 instead!

    Not a great start as it turns out. Spent the following at ASDA

    Milk - 5.50
    Lasagne - 1.98
    Trifle - 0.28

    Note to self - prepare your own lunch and don't buy milk for other people!
