This challenge used to run every week (thanks to Moozie and PAP) but I have not seen it in a while so I hope no one minds but I need this to keep me on track ...
Hello everyone
. Welcome to the weekly spend challenege. This challenge is open to anybody, no matter what financial place they are in.
On this thread please post an amount of money you wish to stay below within the week (Sunday to end of working day on Friday). This can be pennies or thousands it depends on the individual. Then next Saturday report back and pledge for the following week. Feel free to update this thread with daily spends if that keeps you on track.
This is a little bit of fun but for many it highlights the fact that maybe that magazine/chocolate bar isn't needed. Hopefully your spending habits can be changed forever.
Moozie was the founder of this challenge and here is a quote taken from her around last year

Good luck everyone.:T

Morning All!
£40 again for me please
Hope you are all having a nice relaxing Sunday!0 -
Morning budgeteers,
I come to you from Glasvegas in a rather fragile state as I was out last night. Even though I spent a small fortune it was not all bad. I am now officially the Best Female Air Guitarist in Scotland, sadly I did not win the competition overall especially as the prize was quite good.:p
Anyhoo last week I was green woohoo. I am going for £20 again this week and hopefully can come in below this as I do not have anything planned. This willl include any incidental spending not budgetted elsewhere.
Have a good week everyone.

Hi ho!
It's sunny and lovely in the East and I'm about to go and get ready to go to town to spend some gift vouchers - guilt free shopping :j
I can't wait for the festival - I have tickets to 11 shows :rotfl: I have heard that Janeane Garafalo is very good but don't have any more money for Fringe fun unless we can live very cheaply for the next couple of weeks. I have removed my credit card from my purse just in case I'm tempted 0 -
Morning PP et al!!
