moozies weekly challenge w/c 9th december

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!!!

    Hi ya'll

    Only ever challenged myself before but want to do this please.

    I have a works crimbo do tonight, but I'm working 'til about 9
    so i've said that I will drop in for a few drinks. I'm having a lift
    so no taxi expense and it's my boyfriend who is taking
    me....he also works in our team, so will be there too,
    therefore I know he will be paying for most of my drinkie poo's.;)

    Have my birthday on thurdsay and going to a show at the NEC on the evening,
    (paid for by my BF, bless him), so don't think I'll be forking out there!:T

    Now let me see.....put me down for a tenner. Surely I can cope with that?!:D

    I've been really bad and not done this the last few weeks :o Oh well, back on track, week before payday and I've got about £35 left in my purse, do need to get some food out of that but not much.. have Christmas do on Friday but that's all paid for apart from drinks on the day, so I'll say £30 as my target for the week.

  • never done this before but having posted this week on the daily spends thread, have realised that I spend so much more than i realise and its no wonder i am in debt.

    I am going to have quite a high total for my first week because of it being xmas and also i know of some stuff which is heading out my pocket so am going to say £40. (after new year it will be down to £5!!)

    Thanks
