Just looked in my purse and I have £45.90 (which is a lot for me to have in my purse on a sunday- yippee!!) and will commit to spend less than that on all shopping and food, meeting my Mava for lunch on weds my turn to pay (little pub- huge fab meals- cheapy cheap prices!! Me, Mava and Son <£15 quid- get in!!) and even though its Half term and I promised to take my 15 yr old son and his mate climbing to get the mate signed off so they can go alone which will cost me at least £12) I am not gonna use my card at all!!!! (unless I use for cashback purposes and put = cash away to pay bill)
What a great idea for a thread- thanks

I've failed last week - but I did do lots of things with my pub wage - which I expected to spend quickly! (This included next week's groceries - including enough food for 7 people over the whole weekend - a hair cut, and interview clothes. I expected to enjoy spending this week, and I did!
)
However, I'm back to my £15 for this week. This should be plenty.Natwest CC - [STRIKE]£2545[/STRIKE] now £0 :j

Hello :hello:
I used to join this thread religiously every week, but stopped a while ago, and, of course, spending just goes up & up as you lose your focus.
So I'm back to try and get the 'odd bits' of spending under control.
My target for this week is £8.00
This excludes petrol as I have already budgeted for this. It also excludes the supermarket shop next weekend, but does include any odd bits of food I need to get during the week as these are the things I need to rein in.[STRIKE]DFW Nerd number 729[/STRIKE]Debt Free & Proud0 -
Hi all
A bit early in the day, but I intend that this will be a NSD. Dinner is already planned and I'm probably going to be home all day, doing the domestics!
Yesterday was a NSD too, so that's two in a row...yay!

Hi all, it's been a LONG time since I took part in this thread, but here goes again. Well, as it's half-term week I will budget £40 for non-essential spending - see how far that lasts with DD :rolleyes:DMP starts June 2012, £38,180.

I have spent about £6 on groceries and £9.25 on my bus pass but these all come out of separate budgets. So still on track for a NSD today.Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30
