Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 8th Feb

sadsadjenjen

Hello All
Raychee do not worry a job with your name on it is only around the corner.
I was at home all day today so I had a NSD. however it's half term next week:eek:. How do others survive on a tight budget when its wet and cold outside, but you still have to entertain? (in the old days my mum used to just open the front door telling us to be home for lunch) Now its a different story:mad:

Ps Flying_fresian where did you get your fab warrior from.

Hi All

Have blown it today!! Didn't take any lunch to work with me, so had to by a sandwich...while I was there, bought a magazine too and then followed up by buying two coffees (these were medicinal however, as have been feeling very cold and sniffly today...am curled up on the sofa with a hot water bottle and fleecy blancket now!:p ).

So, the damage is that I am £3.84 over my budget for the week....

Hey ho, will try not to be too disappointed as was trying to stay under £8.45 which was quite a tall order!!

Oh dear...

Didn't do very well this week, spent £31.05 all in all *hangs head in shame*

I'm practically living at uni for the next seven days so I'm going for £30 this week - and I'm determined to stick to it!!!

Don't be too hard on yourself, these things happen.

Next week will be a good one for you

Total spent for me was £13.12 last week, so mark me green Pointy :rotfl:

Can I please put myself down for £30 again? I am going to be including all food spends in this as I have been to the supermarket and Makro and there should be no excuse for me spending on any more than milk/bread.

Thanks Flying_fresian!

Morning everyone I have set up the thread for this week's challenge here

Sorry Raychee about the job not nice to hear. But as a wise friend of mine says things have a way of working out one way or another. You will find something. Maybe that job was not meant to be and the next one will be much better. I have my fingers crossed for you.:D

Hooray. I stuck to budget again. Not a penny left though :rolleyes: (I put my leftover pennies into a savings jar) so all of the £10 has been used.

Raychee - I know how you must be feeling. I've had several unsuccessful interviews in the past 6 months or so. Sometimes it gets me down a little, but I'm determined and know I must keep trying. Something will work out soon, and it'll be the ideal job.

Next week I'm going for £10 for everything. I've no plans or anything I need to buy, so I should manage.
