last weeks threadMoozie wrote: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!!! Moozie x

I was fine till Friday night then had an unexpected evening out, think I ended up at about £20.. oops!
I'm going to say £50 for this week, as I've got a friend visiting for a few days so have a couple of meals out etc, I know I'll struggle to keep track with someone else here, but I'll do my best!
Have a good week all xDebt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -
Pap, can u change me to £9 for this week, as thats what is in my purse.... I am trying a new way of doing my weekly spends which I think will stop me over spending.

Hi everyone! Well I've been rurbish (ala Kanye West in the Estelle song!) with this challenge over the last few weeks, but I'm going to try again and so I shall say £14.50 this week (what's in my purse!) and see how I go with that. I've been close but no cigar before, so hopefully I'll manage it this week!Official DFW Nerd Club #20 :cool: Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts

Slowly, Slowly = Oct '09: £30693, Aug '15: £14820. Could Be Debt Free April 2020, but hoping for sooner!0
