moozies weekly challenge w/c 20/1/08

Options
evening all ~ i know this is terribly early but i am off to the dfw meet in birmingham tommorow and will not be back untill late sunday so here it is ready for the weekend :j
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 anything else.

Have a great week everyone and keep it low!!!

    Gawd it's going to be so quite this weekend with all you lot off to the meet.

    Was under this week I think, I'm terrible at keeping track but I have money left so must be.

    £20 for this week, run out of petrol money but need a trip to uni next week so petrol will have to come out of savings.
