poshstock66

H!,
Could i join please??!! :A
I really need to curb my spending on a daily basis! I do a weekly shop on a friday, and am back in again at least 2-3 times in the week! :mad: It can't go on! :eek:
I am doing NSD but as you can see, i am not doing very well, hopefully this challenge will get me on the straight and narrow, with any luck. :laugh:

Can you put me down for £30 please, already spent £16 today though!! :mad:

Yesterday I spent:

£14.55 on a taxi to the airport
£1.30 on tea at the airport (It was 6am!)
£4.05 for Cosmo and chewing gum
£2 for cold coffee on the plane :mad:
£2.35 for breakfast
£5.60 for the train from the airport to the centre of town
£5.00 on wine
£3.65 on wine
£2.80 on beer
£14.00 on a taxi home

Black = Spend
Purple = Spend my work should give me back as expenses sometime
Green = Booze so comes from Entertainment fund not weekly spend challenge

So, £43.85 spent yesterday for the purposes of this challenge, £37.80 of which I should be able to reclaim. :eek: Oh, and the booze was needed. On the flight there I had a full-blown panic attack due to my fear of flying. The return flight was more fun

Hi everyone

I won £16.10:j:j off the various lottos this week so instead of heading to the shops I shall be heading over to join a savings group.:T
Wow I think I am finally turning a corner
Thank you all for being so good:money:

Please can you put me down for £10. I am new to this challenge. The £10 is just personal spending money. Anything left (she says hopefully!) at the end of the week is to go into my Treat Fund.

£5.73 on the weekly shop as the freezer stock ran out a week before I'm due to go home. :rolleyes: Oh well, at least I'll have lots in when I get back.

Hi all,

£10.66 in the end for me last week. so green for me.

will join this week at £35, but not holding out much hope of staying below that, as my boyf is back form work for a few days, so we are treating ourselves a lot!! as he goes away again at the weekend.

Thank you PP.

Evening all

I am a bit behind with updating but it is all done, let me know if I have missed anything.

Welcome to the newbies Sun Addict and Poshstock66 good luck the first week is usually the hardest so stick with it, it does get easier.

F_F hope you enjoyd your trip to my homeland, sorry to hear about you nor having a great flight I love flying especially to sunny places but I suppose when you think of it as a floating metal container it does seem a bit scary:eek:

sadsadjenjen sounds like you are making real progress, it is amazing how quickly the small amounts add up.

:hello:Raychee glad to see you back

For me, my week is not going too well I seem to have the spending bug and a sore throat to boot. I will have to rack my brains and see what I have spent I fear I am already over budget
