Evening all,
Shameful red for me as I spent £34. Naughty naughty Fresian
I have had a NSD today (w00t!) and my budget for this week is £50 as it is payday tomorrow and I also got my annual bonus, so the £50 will include any random nonsense I decide to treat myself with!
As usual in the first joful weeks of the month, my groceries and socialising money will be coming from a different account and so won't be included in this. I had better not spend any more than £50 :rotfl:0 -
Hi, I have never done this challenge before and I have 15 pounds in my purse and I will NOT spend any more then that!
Hi all and good luck

Hi, I am a 'newbie' too :hello:
I need some motivation, please can you put me down for £10? :eek:Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!Total debt @ Oct 2008: £29,226.42 Credit Card- £[STRIKE]7493.56[/STRIKE] - £7243.56Weightloss : 0/34lbs0 -
Hi new folks!
Welcome :beer:
I tend to find that it helps me to come on here and confess when I spend, but you don't have to do this every day. My motivation is the fact that for the last two weeks Pointy has coloured me RED at the end of the week for failing to stay in budget. This week I shall be GREEN!
Good luck old and new budgeteers0 -
Hi all, and hello to all new bugdeteers!
Last week I had some small change left in my purse. I didn't count it though and just put it in my savings jar.
I guess that means I'm under budget, but as the excess went into the jar I'll just declare I came in on budget at £40 out of £40.
This week I'm going to stick to £20, with the determination that the less I have, the less I will spend.
Have a great week everyone.

I would like to say £50 as I have to go for dinner on Friday with people from work and a concert on Thursday. The plan is to come under this.0

hi
I plan on joining the April grocery budget challenge when posted and need motivation for that to get started now. I will just record groceries cause I have lots of spends coming this week but I def need to keep on top of what the shops get out of me.
I therefore pledge this week to spend £25 max on groceries (and household/pet foods stuff)
So far - no spendsDFW 228 LONG H 68
