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

  • Actually managed to spend nothing other than the money I found.... Proving to myself that I can do it if I want to!
    On hols from work until a week Monday, so might be a bit higher than usual.... I'll go for £20 just to be on the safe side!

    Last week I budgeted £25 and somehow only spent £10 :j:j:j


    This week I'll say £20 as a friend and I are trying out a new keep-fit class on Monday evening :o. We'll see how it goes and we may be doing it every week - must tone up a bit :p
