weekly spend challange ~ w/c 19th october

Good afternoon everyone :beer: . This challenge is open to anybody, no matter what financial place they are in.

This 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

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.

Good luck all :j

  • Thanks babes, well I forgot to pledge :rolleyes: I will say £30 this week as I have planned to go to bingo on thursday night :j woo hoo
  • Hiya Pap, again congrats on your low spends..... all told I think I spent about £9 last week.

    I'm gonna pledge £6.60 this week as I spent £3.50 today (did Sunday o/t though, so made up for it!) and I only have £3.10 left in my purse.

    Hope you are well? x

    Not a clue what I've spent, will have to "go advanced" :o Looks like nowt! Wow, yeah that'll be right thinking back :j

    This week, we'll go for £10 again - even though I might spend some b'day money tomorrow but that doesn't count.
