£1.45 spent so far today on tea and crisps. Bad Fresian.
I was so hungry when I finished my lunch (MSE lunch - leftovers) and am doing loads of really dull work this week so wanted to treat myself to tea :rotfl:0 -

hi all
well had quite an expensive day today. Had to spend money on bus fares as had to take my daughter to the dentist which is 6 miles away. We decided to have a tea therea as it was going to be late getting back. I did use money off vouchers though for subway. Then popped into wilkinsons to get some lightbulbs for a lamp and all there xmas stock was 10p so filled up on paper,cards etc. Total spend £13.16. total left £11.84 was supposed to be going out but that has been cancelled so hopefully this will last me:oMortgage free 25/9/2019 8years and 7 months early 😁😁😁0 -

Good day today on the money front, nothing spent at all.
At least one aspect of my life is doing ok :undecided2019 Aim: Save £10,000
Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now0 -
Hello weekly challengers
,
I've had a check up at the dentist today - £22 but as I have a 'fund' for this it doesnt count as a spend :j. My car is dangerously close to the R on petrol guage but fortunately I have a fund for this too so that wont count either0 -
Hello. This looks like a great idea. Can I join please?
Hopefully it will help me stop and think about what i buy if I have to tell others I've failed!
Can you put me down for £20 this week please? Yesterday I spent £6.50 at Wilko's - primarily for a new extension cable so I can have computer in my living room. This is so I can Money-save as well as watch a bit of TV in the evening!But I'm up for a challenge of £13.50 for the rest of the week.
Thanks
