babs at least you are trying to stick to your budget if I was in your situation I would be tempted to think sod it.

I'm really tempted too. But I've been really rubbish with money in the past and I don't want to have to rely on my family to bail me out once again (if it wasn't for them I would be in very bad debt). And, I'm actually managing to save money for once in my life. This challenge has helped so much, as I put whatever's left over into my savings.

On the upside, thanks to my spending on Sunday, I've had 2 NSDs in a row :j

Though now I'm craving Caramacs. Haven't had one in years. I remember the advert vaguely. Something to do with football I think.

Nothing so far today but I will have to pay for my dance class tonight which is the first one I have been to for about a year. So excited, its the only think I do as a social thing at the mo so have allowed myself to spend some money going.

Hiya guys, you all seem to be doing well.

I had my evening out and only spent 5.80 out of the tenner I had budgeted for :TAll the wine and canapes were free, so I ate plenty and saved on an evening meal too :T

Nothing today for me so far - a NSD should be in the offing if I'm good I really want some chocolate and a Starbucks tea, but I'm trying to behave!

Ok the NSDs are eluding me again I forgot/could not be bothered to organise lunch for today so went to M&S and spent £3.45 I was also lazy and got the bus in this morning so that was £1.30. Total for me today £4.75

F_F did you give in to the starbucks? I always like their chai tea latte.

Happy no/low spending budgeteers.

Hey all,

Didn't get the Starbucks yesterday so a NSD, but might get some today as my office is freezing and I'm sitting with my jacket on at the moment!

Ok this week is horrendous, I brought an egg and black pudding roll this morning from the van at work. Can see me being in red this week.

Hi there

Think I need to sort out what I've spent this week, as other money has got muddled in my purse...so

choccy & pop = £2 (monday)
crisps = 34p (yesterday)
birthday cards = £2.17 (today)

So that's £4.51, leaving £2.99 to go.

Not too bad, methinks. I'm working at home tomorrow, so should be a NSD, although have to pop out to the post office to send some ebay stuff - just used my lunch hour to walk to town and the PO here was closed due to 'computer problems' :mad:

spent £8 getting my 2 daughters passport pics for there school trip, £4 each :mad: i remember when those machines cost £2 and each pic was individual so you could get 4 people done at the one time lol

Right Folks I seem to be getting worse at this not better. Again the NSD eluded me due to my own laziness. I spent £3.50 on a sandwich from Pret (i know, i know but it was tasty) and 55p on a caramac. In my defence I did walk to work this morning even though it was snowing and I resembled a snow-woman by the time I got there. So £4.05 for me today.

I think I am still in good stead to make it under target this week as I still have over £10 left. So not that bad really but this feels like it has been the longest week ever.

Beencounting I hate the PO they are useless if we had another choice they would be out of business, how can they be so inefficient and generally bad a customer service?
