weelky spends challenge ~ w/c 2nd November 2008

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

  • :hello: Hiya Pap..... how's you?

    Thanks to a string of NSDs last week, I managed to spend exactly £0 on un-budgetted spends :D So that £2 got changed into a £2 coin and went in the pot...
    Got £5 in my purse (unless OH has swiped it!) so I'm gonna go for £5 this week please

  • I think I came in at about £7 for non essentials this week so slightly over budget. Please put me down for £10 this week. Good luck everyone.
