Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 18th Jan

Raychee

Mmmmm Brioche - great for making bread and butter pudding with...

Hoping for a low spend day today.

Got to take the car to the garage for them to check my headlight and stamp my 'producer'. Got stopped by the police last week for above headlight not working, and I have send them proof within 14 days that it is working again. Garage don't charge for stamping the producer, but want a donation for the 'loivboot borrrrrx.' Took me ages to understand he meant the LIFEBOAT box!

Got to buy for dinner tomorrow as we have guests, but as they are OH's friends, he can buy the things we need for that. (And hopefully there'll be enough left over to feed the freezer too! )

Spent £1.46 today on some miso soup - yum yum! - and remembered I had to put £2 on my printing account Monday night, so all in all I have £9.82 left for the remaining two days. Should be ok, have to put some money on my copying account tomorrow to print off a load of music sheets, but I'm off to the cinema for freeeeeeeeee because my friend works at Odeon:j

Off to bed now - another 5.30 wake up call for work tomorrow.:eek:

Night all :wave:

Morning all,

pointless but interesting fact ; apparently Brioche is the stuff that Marie Antoinette suggested the poor should eat; not cake. Right, off to shopps to see what I can find for £3.76 that will keep DD & I nourished until friday :rolleyes: will report back later...

That is an interesting fact. I must remember that it might win me a pub quiz one day.

I went for lunch with a friend who is just about to go on maternity leave and also bought ice cream at the cinema (no ticket cost as I have an annual pass)

Total £12.55

Total £23.54 leaving £6.46 for the rest of the week. Bring on Friday.

Well, I have right royally gone over my budget again despite there being one day left for me.

I am over by £5 as I bought DH his birthday cards and wrapping paper as well as paying for parking at the shopping centre.

I did resist the urge to stop off at the chippy and buy some chips whilst DD was alseep in the car though

Oh dear Purpletea5 but don't worry happens to the best of us sometimes. You have more willpower than me if you resisted chips.

Ladymay it is weird I never liked miso soup until I had it with a bento box a few months ago and realised it is actually quite nice. Also it is also healthy and has lots of good things in it.

So today I have spent:

• £20.21 in Superdrug on random stuff, it was stuff I needed so still seems a lot but this will come out of beauty budget
• £16 on full leg wax again out of beauty budget

Looking at it, it is not as bad as I thought and technically as the above comes out of a set budget that makes this a NSD:j this the second of the month need to try very hard next week.

I am currently waiting for my first veg box delivery but the man has not turned up yet hope he hasn't got lost or eaten by NEDs

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Declaring myself within budget as it's payday today and I made it on my £15 budget. I will be spending today, but from the new month's money (If you see what I mean!)

My pledge for next week is £30 (Not including groceries or going out as I have money budgeted for both)

Treated myself to a lemonade last night! So another £1.10 added to my total!!

Welcome :beer:purpleprincess to our merry band of moneysavers. I will add you to the list at the top, just let us know how you get on for the rest of the week. That is fine if you want to do Monday to Sunday, whatever floats your boat. I must say I like the fact that I can spend on Saturdays but maybe that is a bad thing.

No, it's not bad, it's whatever works for you!

I have got £13.41 left at the moment, got friends coming round tonight so that will save on going out!!

Will keep you updated!
