Welcome all...

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

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!!! Moozie x

I pledge £20 last week and spent only £10.88 :j this coming week I will say £10 but thats only for a day out on tuesday. The remainder of the week will be a nsw

Spent a total of £52.75 this week, £45 on a big bag of gravel and the other £7.75 on various 'bits' (newspapers etc).... actually spent more than that, but all other spends were budgetted, so they don't count

Big fat red for me for last week please Pap, I'll pledge £20 again this week as OH has a couple of train fares to pay for (and surprise surprise has no money!)...

I'm well in the red for last week.

This week I can't think what I need, if anything.

Food is on a seperate budget (see sig)

So I will pledge £10 this week, that is just personal spends on me though. My pocket money. It's quite fun having pocket money cos suddently though £3.00 magazines seem awfully expensive!

Hiya pap,

I pledged £20 last week and incredibly managed to spend just £6.20 :j:j

This week I am going out with work colleagues on Tuesday evening for a meal, so I will budget £30 for the week.

Hiya, I spent £5.37 last week :j Trying for £10 again this week.
