Ok I made it! (Just) I pledged £10 and spent £9.90:T, although that did include a birthday card for Bro (£1.69) and a stock of cup-a-soups and noodles for work (£2.03)
Can I pledge £10 for w/c 11th Jan please
Cheers UBThere's always someone bigger and better, smarter and stronger but there's only one YOU!:j
Proud to be a MF and DF MSE after following advice here and breaking the ground-in mental barriers to change! :cool:0 -
Well I came in under budget, but unsure by how much.
I wish to pledge £20 again for this coming week starting from today until Friday.
Many thanks,
Tea

Yay!! Came in under budget!! My change is going in my pot I think, as a reward!!
Next week I'm going to pledge £20 as I'm going out for a meal with a friend hopefully!!
I also need petrol but that's already budgeted for so I don't count it!Just keep swimming0 -
I've managed too!
I've spent £1.40 on non-essential items, and 70p of that was a donation while passing a collection tin...
Next week I'm pledging £15. I still haven't bought my computer ink (been vaguely avoiding the shops) and I do (possibly) have carpark charges to pay when I pick OH up at airport.
I'm stunned at how much I have left.

Wow - I just realised the first week is up now and I've spent nothing since Monday!!!
I was was left with £6.33 from my £20 budget :j
It's so much easier not to spend when you are only using cash, and, as Diana Prince said, it's too cold outside to venture out.
I think I'm going to go for £20 again next week. Let's see if I can keep it up.
Well done to everyone who came in under budget. And well done to those who didn't but tried.
xLooking forward to the future.0
