    I would like to go for £30 next week please!

    I'm going to head to Asda today, so this should include all milk & bread type gubbins too.

    Have a low spending week all!

    Evening all

    I have spent in the region of £12, think it's £11.70 something, but made the mistake of putting the change in my money box before counting it properly.

    At least i'm gonna be GREEN , for a change, i know this as i'm working all day tomorrow, and now my money is in my money box i have no more pennies until monday. so physically have no money to spend.

    budget for next week = £15, but i def need to spend less that that.

    Have a good week PP.

    And happy easter everyone. :EasterBun

    I've spent my £10 for this week on a phone top-up so I'm still green. Could you please put me down for £10 again next week?

    Just totted up and I've come in at £14.20 this week (I think). So just snuck in as green again. I'll go for £12 next week but I'll be excluding Sunday evening this week as I've got £30 set aside for a night out.

    Happy Easter - hope everyone has a good weekend.

    Hi everyone.

    Managed to stick to my £20 last week. No change at all though.

    I'm going to go for £25 this week. It'll include everything, but I'm pretty sure that there's not much planned for the week.

    Happy Easter!!
    Looking forward to the future.

    Ended up spending £50 this week :mad: Terrible really.

    I'll go for £30 again this week, but will hopefully come in under that.

    Hope you've all had a good Easter xx

    Afternoon People of the Internet.

    My apologies for not managing to start the new thread until now. You can find it here all pledges and results have been updated.

    My travels were supposed to end last night but have continued onto today. I went to a small town called Fochabers near Elgin in the frozen north and then continued my tour of Scotland. I am now in the Borders visiting the (not quite) in-laws due to be heading back to not-so-sunny Glasvegas this afternoon.

    This week has not been so good spending wise I really need to pull up my socks this week and get back into the saving not spending mindset.

    Well done budgeteers you seem to have had a good week lots of green. Keep up the good work and hopefully this week I can stay on the bandwagon without falling off.
