Pap/Moozie's Weekly Challenge ***ALL WELCOME*** w/c 28th Sept

OK, no sign of Pap yet, so I'll babysit the thread for now.... Now as Pap would say:

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

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

Have fun and good luck icon_smile.gif

    Well I think I managed £0 but I can't remember - it seems so long ago. I was ill on Thurs/Fri so def no spend. I've only just gone back to work today so I've spent nothing so far this week. So I'll just go for £0 again this week as there's not much left of it. I hope that makes sense (seems a lot so's in there).

    I spent £11.23 for the week which means I made it and by quite a bit so I am setting myself £10 for the week this week as that is what is left in my purse. I am sure something unexpected will but come but we can but try.
