ok failing really badly at the mo. Brought a £2 roll at work and a can of pepsi 55p. Now me and OH thinking of buying a house together going to have to get a move on with cutting back. Need to pop to do a quick shop after my 2nd job tonight and then get back to work out how to cut back.

Bad start to the week for me, £10 in the tank and £4.75 on cigarettes (I know it's a disgusting habit and very costly, but I've cut down, honest guv!). £4.50 tonight at Slimming World too.

£10.75 left for the week then. I will not spend more than my purse allows!!

Not doing too badly, but not a NSD as was hoping, just spent £1.49, total so far £4.96

Am def going to stay away from the shops tomorrow, i just can help myself, the annoying thing is it's usually food so not even anything to show for it!!

£2.49 on some colour catchers for the wash. I'm only using them for the washable menstrual pads though so they might well last a few years.

Hi All
So far I have spent £10 of my budget:eek:, I must stop buying those gossip mags. however I might just scrape through, wish me luck.

Shoe Gal don't give up keep going it is such a revelation to see in black and white where all that money goes.

Well, I'm £9 down already. But I spent on the essentials for the week - groceries and toiletries - so anything left is free money.

I'm running low on petrol though, but I think I'll make it through until next week, so £11 left for me.

Keep it up everyone.

For those who overspend in the first day or so - don't give up on the week. Still try to stick to a budget of some sort or you may just go overboard and spend spend spend.

Hey,

Had quite a fraught day yesterday and as a result spent the rest of my budget on chocolate. Found a lump by my armpit, off to the doctors this morning. Luckily Ive woken up feeling a lot more rational about it, but last night I was carping it and it was chocs away! So I'm up to my limit of £12.50 and will go over, but I'm not giving myself a hard time over it - I needed that chocolate! On the plus side in Camden yesterday I only bought some tights which were already budgeted for, despite 100s of pretty dresses

Shoegal - please don't give up! Sometimes I fail miserably, but when I'm green at the end of the week it feels really good
