    I've not spent any of my non-essential budget yet! :)

    I had £17 cash in my purse at the beginning of the week, and I still have over £5 left! Unbelieveable.

    To be honest, I've not really been anywhere (except Waitrose) to spend. (I know... but Waitrose is like my corner shop... I can walk Still need to buy my ink cartridge, but might ask OH to pick one up on his way home from work.

    Pub tomorrow night - that's going to be about £10, as I know it's my turn to buy a round. (Though there's a meeting I may need to go to instead...)

    Well done everyone, keep it up! :)
    Natwest CC - [STRIKE]£2545[/STRIKE] now £0 :j
    Overdraft - £2668 :eek:- to be cleared by February 2010

    Not a penny spent YET!!!!!! Unfortunately I do need a couple of bits from Sainsbugs but will go after work (about 8pm) and will hopefully find some stuff reduced! I only set myself a budget this week of £5 so its going to be pushing it but I will try!

    Have sent t'other half to the Post Office with the last £5 note in my purse to post my Amazon parcels, and I only have another £1 in my purse :eek: We are also going to need to get bread tomorrow and milk today (I'm hoping he pays for the milk :rotfl: )

    I am hopeful I will be within the £20 budget by the end of Friday *crosses fingers*

    I am going to the movies tonight, but using my free Cineworld pass (Best birthday present ever!) and taking my sweeties with me covertly in my handbag. Mwahahahaha - they shall not thwart me :D
  • I have failed miserably on my first time at this challenge but am going to use this week as a marker to what I normally spend and then try to spend less next week.
    MAY NSD's

  • Spent £1 on lottery today, I did however resist the temptation of buying heat and glamour!! Oh and creme eggs............mmmmmm creme eggs..........
    Just keep swimming
