Afternoon,

What has happened to the weather, bloomin' miserable!! Spent £1.50 on a diet coke and 25p on a Fruit Salad sweet bar thingy. £2.30 so far.

Well, the creative budgeting doesn't seem to have worked so far. £10.90 on various transport costs today, it would've been cheaper to buy a flipping nappy bin! Then again, all the wandering around and getting lost has given me all the exercise I need for today. So I'll have to go easy for the rest of the week. I've managed two weeks in green, I'm not breaking it now.

Well, first day back at the weekly challenge, and have failed miserably, spent £3.47, but am on a course at work for next two days (free meals), then at a conference on thurs, so hopefully 3 NSD's coming up!!

A big hello to all the newbies

I have updated the first post with all pledges and results from last week. Let me know if there are any more.

Well I am glad Monday is nearly over. Weather in Glasvegas has been sunny but not very warm, I suppose you can't have everything in Scotland in March!

So far today I bought a Chai Tea Latte from canteen at work but I used money already on my card so not going to count that (it isn't really cheating honest;)) that was my only spend I think. Fingers crossed it can stay like this and I can make it to the end of the week in budget.

Shoe Gal don't be so hard on yourself, the first few weeks are always difficult. Keep going I am sure it won't be as bad as you think and as long as you spend less than you usually would without this challenge then it has been a sucess.

Went to the pub for a few last night, £1 a pint, can't go wrong - unless you have to be up at 5.30 for work! Not hungover thank goodness, but have absolutely no energy! Got a big challenge today - spending no money in Camden market- wish me luck!
