Last weeks thread ~ http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=605436Good 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
welcome all... I hope you have had a great week and kept it low... and are you ready to be turned red/green? Everyone can join, just post a target in keeping with you/your debts/your spends, don’t worry about everyone else’s budgets. Then each day post on the daily spends thread and add them all up ready to post the following Saturday. The challenge runs from Sunday to the Friday... everyone welcome... please dont worry if you have gone over budget and will be turned red it happens... to me more than anyone else.

**information post**
Dont know how you all feel about xmas week? (ie w/c 23rd december) but i am posting it anyways purely because i am in work and still want to keep on the straight and narrow. Just because i set the challenge in no way means you have to take part in it, you can sit it out till the week after. This is just a pre warning just incase you arnt expecting it.

xxTo repeat what others have said, requires education, to challenge it,requires brains!FEB GC/DIESEL £200/4 WEEKS0 -
Well i set myself a budget of £20.00 and i spent £16.05 :j. Really chuffed with that the remainder went in my savings pots too. Didnt do all what i needed to do but still would have come in under budget. This week will be my usuall £10.00 only working all week and going to college so not 'too' bad
.
Take care all and keep it low :j0 -
Hello pap
My weekly budget was £35.00 and i spent £32.87 :T, really chuffed that i kept to my target.
I'll set myself a target for £30 for next week please pap. I'm going to try and spend as little as possible, as i still have Christmas presents to get, tickets for New Year (my birthday woo hoo) and other bits and bobs.
I'll join in with you for the week starting the 23rd as i too am at work part of that week.0 -

I only spent £9 which is cool.... I actually probably spent less than that but had loads of change to put in the pots
I'm still in for Xmas week as I'll be working too.... in fact I'm in every week as long as this challenge runs, cuz its really helped me to cut my spending!
£10 again this week please Pap, pay day's not til Fri and that all I've got left!
