Haven't spent anything past the £21 I declared earlier in Jan. Going shopping tomorrow but I can't afford to buy anything, just window shopping and keeping my OH company. Probably will only buy a coffee and some lunch.
Don't know when I 'll next buy anything as so skint now, clothes have holes in, looks like I'll have to go supercheap shopping now.final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -

Hi all well done for keeping to your £100 budgets, I still have yet to spend anything, I told my MIL I was doing this challange and she looked at me like I was mad, she buys herself two or three new outfits every week, she is loaded however.
Keep up the good work
