  • :hello: to all the new challengers welcome

    First post has been updated with pledges.

    For me today £9.25 for bus pass but this is budgeted. Also £3.45 as I was a late getting in last night and didn't make lunch. This situation has swiftly been rectified as lunch for tomorrow is already in the fridge.


    So total £3.45

    Diana P good luck with the car I have an oldie myself and always worry when it needs to go to the garage as it always costs me a packet.

    Sazzledazzle you can do it this week:T

    Piquant you are brave don't think I could make it on zero.

    F_F treats to go with lunch are one of my many downfalls:cool:

    I've not been too bad recently, but I didn't take yoghurt to work today as the canteen has stopped giving out plastic spoons and I didn't want to waste a yoghurt. Tomorrow, I shall definitely not buy anything from the canteen. I will have my two cups of coffee with water from my flask and I will not succumb to the yummy English Breakfast tea in the canteen. Oh no.

    *puts on determined face*
  • F_F good luck I am going to attempt the same today as I am taking my lunch with me and also have fruit and a cereal bar so really don't need anything else especially crisps or chocolate!

  • Not to bad a start. I brought the Jamie book so I can make some more homemade food as find i enjoy cooking, keeps me away from shops whilst I am cooking, and grocery bill seems to be going down as homecooked food goes further. Spent 32p on stamp yesterday to send a letter to horrible debt company to say again what I can offer to pay. So far only £10.32.
    MAY NSD's

    Bought a Thermos flask yesterday (my old one has mysteriously vanished - oh, the joy of living in a student house) £5.39, and had to buy two cups of tea to stop me falling asleep at my desk- £1.40, so I've spent £12.28 so far this week, leaving £7.72 for the remaining few days.

    Aiming for a NSD today, wish me luck!

  • Good luck everyone we are half way through the week.:D

    I am still trying to get some NSDs in but as I am going out tonight it is not going to happen today. Oh well there is always tomorrow.
