    Hello All.

    Thank goodness Saturday isn't part of the challenge - spent a ridiculous amount yesterday and whilst I'm disppointed in myself I don't have to declare just how much I wasted to everyone else!
    Going to have to be extra strict with myself for the rest of the month.

    It has been snowing here so the journey to work will be fun. I am out for dinner tonight so I will try and keep it as low as possible.

    Have a nice day everyone.

    I must have looked ridiculous trying to walk to the bus-stop this morning :rotfl: It has snowed really heavily here too! I did make a snowman last night though which was awesome fun (Pic of him on my thread!)

    Have a lovely dinner tonight :D
  • I cant belive I made it last week under budget, so please can I be green as only spent £8.08. Can I be put down for £15 this week please.
    Had a fantastic night in London paid for by my dad at weekend, so dont feel the need to go out for next few weeks. Failed on my NSD today as forgot my lunch so spent £1.90 on a roll, and will have to pop to shop on way home for sawdust for the rabbit (normally get it cheap from work but none left.)
    Found out today we may have to have a wage cut - going to get rid of our compulsory Saturdays, so going to have to tighten things even more - help. But on good note looks like me and ex OH may give it a go again which I am so happy about so at least not all bad.

    Well Done Flying Fresian - think I should try and see if I have the will power you have and not spend anything all week.
    MAY NSD's

    Hello everyone.

    I went to the pictures yesterday to see He's Just Not That Into You. (I wouldn't recommend it. It seemed to go on forever and was very predictable.) So I've only got £5 left and it's only Monday :eek:

    I'm hoping I'll be able to get by as there's nothing I need other than petrol, which I may or may not get. I just need to avoid temptation.

    I don't know how some of you manage no spend weeks. I always feel I have to buy at least one thing to get me spending fix for the week.
    Looking forward to the future.
