Options
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!!!

Moozie x

    So, Sunday to Saturday budget is £40

    Couldn't do it last week cos I was on holiday. Actually, that's not true. I'd hoped to get away with spending £100 but ended up spending £250! Can you put me down for £50 for next week (two birthday and two christmas pressies to buy)!
