    £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:
  • Hello - good idea. I am finding it so difficult!

    Please add me to the challenge... my limit is £42 per week.

    Today will be a no spending day, fingers crossed!:A

    My budget is £15 - I have £4.73 left! But I don't think there's anything I need to spend it on! :)

    Last week I spent £11.94 of my £15 budget - money has gone into my sealed tin. :j

    Good luck all.

    I've never done any of these before but would enjoy the challenge and hopefully stop me buying unneccesary c*"p:p

    Can I go for a budget of £20 this doesn't include food or bus fare as these are accounted for elsewhere in my budget:D

    So far I have spent £3.08 today:grin:

    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:o

    Hello weekly challengers :D ,

    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 either :D

    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
    Tixy
