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!!!

    Hi pap - my budget last week was £20 and incredibly I had 5NSDs and only spent £6.20 :j :j

    This week will be different as I need to renew my train pass on Friday, so I will budget £75 for the week.

    Hi guys,

    I would very much like to join this week - my target will be to not spend more than £15 on unbudgeted items - this includes my daily lunches at work (I can take a packed lunch - there's no excuse!!)

    I'll post back each day to let you know how I get on.xx

    Spent £4.75 :j

    Put me down for £15 although I should be well below that as I've got into the habit of walking to work now.. and I don't think I've got much more than that until I get paid on Friday so will be hard to go over!
