OK my challenges for this week are

To take my lunch to work everyday.

To have at least one 'no spend day'.

To sort out some things to sell on ebay.

I actually have one of the worst weeks ahead of me work wise, I have some really had targets to hit in the next ten days so my focus may be a little off but Im going to try my best.

Good Luck everyone, have a great debt busting week and remember to come back my weekend and let us all know how youve got on. :j

My goal for this week involves a 3kg joint of pork from sainsburys that we bought for £7. It has been roasted and this evening we have had the crackling and some slices with stuffing. Last time I managed to make 4 meals from this monster, and my goal for this week is a different 4 meals without becoming utterly sick of pork.

Challenges for the next week:

Again, take food and drink for 6 hour train journey (quite a commute hey! long story :rolleyes: ) to avoid pricey food but maybe allow a coffee

Only buy absolute essentials foodwise to make up for last week. Am staying with parents from wednesday onwards so shouldn't be too hard!

Keep checking to see if there will be another 5p listing day on ebay any time soon!

Contribute at least £4 to my £2 coin savings (without spending just to get change :rotfl: ).

Best of luck with your challenges everyone!
