Welcome all... Coucou24.gif

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/Sunday. The challenge runs from Sunday to the Friday... Everyone welcome... Please don't worry if you have gone over budget and will be turned red it happens... to me more than anyone else. Have a great week drinks.gif

And a word from our sponser ~
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!!!

    Yes red i did :D in fact most of its not delivered yet :rotfl: Lots of craft stuff really... cropadile, 13 stamps (can be used for my cards too), eyelets, ink, kits, cards, flowers, ribbons, lucky dips, chipboard, scrapbook pocket refils... the list is endless... oh and stuff to complete my mothers day book. I must add though this is my first full month of all my pay ( i get payed on the 15th) and due to driving (i know thagt was my choice too but ykwim) so i splashed it all :T i did save into my savings accounts £190 though :) I get payed next friday and £300 at least is alredy going into my savings thats without my usuall £50 direct debit savings :j one last blow out ;)
  • Don't make things too tight for urself tho hun, make sure u have a 'treats' budget.... u can always put the money away at the end of the week/month if don't spend it x

    Gosh really dont know where to start.........Im sure you can turn me red for a start, had some problems with my benefits and they have sorted it out and sent me a giro! so instead of paying into my bank and waiting for it to clear I cashed it at the post office:mad:

    As you can imagine I have had the money in my purse (still some in there) and therefore no idea what I spent or what it went on:confused: Spending diary ahs been empty for 4 days so need to sit down and track back.

    Anyway Kids on half term this week so going to be busy, will re join challenge after that and will probably have to be on £5 budget for the week :o

    Good luck all for the coming week x
