Hi there,

If you go to the first post of this thread, there is an explanation there. It's a great challenge and really makes you think about your spending for the week..

Good luck and a happy new year to all.. :beer:

Hi,

My weekly spend was £9.05 which is annoying as it was for the library fine yesterday. I could have had a £0 if it wasn't for that :mad: but at least still within my budget.

Can I go for £10 next week though I am going to try and spend less than that.

Hello, basically you choose an amount you want to spend over the week (we do Sunday to Friday but you can choose if you want to do a whole week) then let us know how you get on. Also you choose what comes out of this budget for instance I don't count things I budget elsewhere for such as groceries or toilteries.

We are due to start again on Sunday so feel free to join us.

As for spends this week I am sure I am within budget especially as I spent a lot less last night than I expected.

So I am declaring green for the week as everything is shut

Well i've blown it this week. I ended up going out for hogamany which i wasn't planning to do originally. So you can go ahead and make me red for this week.

I'm over this week, by 50p.:mad: Total spend was £30.50. Put me down in the red.

Never mind, I've done this challenge for 4 weeks now and this is the first time I have been over.

I have got £7 in my purse and so that is my weekly spend for next week. Please put me down for £7 for next week.

I've spent a bit over the plan this week, spent £5 on a KFC, hubby spent £4 on spray paint, and we spent £20 on NYE, NSD yesterday and most likely today, but I'm definitely red unfortunately, Its my birthday a week tomorrw and I've got a friend over next weekend, hoping for four NSDs before she gets here, so next week I'd like to budget £30 including a meal out!
Happy New Year all

I've got £40 in my purse £30 is for food so put me down for a £10 spend for next week

Hello

Please can I join with a pledge of £17 (starting tomorrow)?

I have spent lots of time reading the forum over the Christmas holiday and am really motivated to get myself in a better financial place this year.

Nice to meet you all

Hiya

I did this a while ago, and it worked really well, but then I change jobs and that was a nightmare.
Can I join for w/c 03 Jan with a £30 limit? Back to money saving with a vengeance!!

Hi Everone

A bit late but 'Happy New Year' to everyone

Im over budget yet again - I lost count which is even worse.Although some of that was ebay postage spending which I should have another budget for as Im sending loads at the moment.Will include them in this weeks budget and make it higher

so will start afresh this week with a new 'january so the start of all things good' mindset! I have so many challenges this month : )

I will say £50 including top up food shop/ebay postage charges as I dont need much food wise so would rather have one budget as Im determined to be in budget this week
