Last weeks thread ~ http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=745791Good 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!!! Moozie x

I can't remember why I made it £30 this week :rotfl:
I've spent £3.30 this week
£10 for next weekNo longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -
Helllloooooo......
Completely lost the plot this week and only have a rough idea of what I spent...... I think it was about £30, as I have failed miserably at the NVDs!!!
Will start again next week.... plus OH has said that we are on a 'health drive' - he is trying to give up smoking again, and we eat far too much carp anyway!..... What a ramble!
Anyways, please can you put me down for £10 this week

Hi pap and everyone
I spent £10 on petrol this week so was well within my budget.
I'm going to go for £20 again this week I think.

Hi PAP and everyone
Gone awol for at least two weeks now, have been spending so much time at work! had two days off in the last two weeks and am shattered, but on annual leave for a week now, so time to catch my breath, catch up on here and set my challenge for £ 20 this week as I'm going away on Tuesday for the day and need petrol and spending money for the day.
Well done everyone for all your efforts.
Cheers
Casper
