pap/moozies weekly spends challenge ~ all welcome ~ w/c 21st september 08

Good afternoon everyone a010.gif. Welcome to another moozies challenege. This challenge is open to anybody, no matter what financial place they are in.

Thjis challenge basically runs along side the daily spends thread where you post what you have spent daily. However you dont have to be in both to be involved in one. On this thread please post an amount of money you wish to stay below within the week (sunday ~ friday). This can be pennies or thousands it depends on the individual. Then next Saturday report back and pledge for the following week thumbsup4kk.gif

This is a little bit of fun but for many it highlights the fact that maybe that magazine/chocolate bar isnt needed. Hopefully your spending habits can be changed forever. clapping.gif

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

Have fun and good luck icon_smile.gif

    Oh dear I didn't do good this week. I can't remember everything I spent (and didn't post much either) but I was given £5 that I was owed and spent that and I bought a takeaway on Friday that cost £13.00 which takes me over by £18:mad:

    Definitely £0 for me this week as I don't get paid until Thursday.

    I have had a NSD today and get paid on Friday so hopefully I can make the rest of this week on £20

    I'd like to join again please. I did okay on the minor spends and didn't use the £5. However, I had a major unexpected expense to the tune of £249 :eek::eek:.Still feeling a bit faint about that. So in order to pay that back this month, there is no spending allowed....well, a maximum of £5 for chocolate emergencies :D
