Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 19th April

ETO - why are you '2 users' when you thank people - are you special?

I like the idea of thinking of wine in cost per day:T, I always think price per wear per clothes (so that I can buy expensive jeans and nice boots) but hadn't thought of applying it to other things.

Tixy - i noticed the thanking thing myself, was being nosey at who had thanked you and it was only me. thought perhaps page needed refreshing but was still little ole me.

Was having probs with it the other day too. but i like the idea of being 'special' !! so we'll just leave it there.

I think i'm going to try and apply that rule to everything. Hmmmm i might actually spend more time working out how much things cost per day, per wear etc that i might not be bothered to spend it in the first place. :rotfl:

ETO just wanted to echo Tixy's comments. Please do not give up everyone has bad weeks and it is not like you treated yourself exessively with the cash. As long as you are spending less that you would have before then you are a success.

Thanks peeps. :A

the great thing is that i feel i can actually post what i have spent (or PAD'd)because no-one judges (well on the debt free threads, have recently read the crapital one thread - not pretty). since starting back on the debt free journey i have considered telling porkies about my spends so as not to look weak. but i so dont feel like i need to do that. and who does that help anyway?

I am beginning to be totally honest with myself. May there be debt free times ahead for us all.

Only just in the green this week - had to have more petrol on Friday damn car, costs a fortune :mad: but only a fiver so I'm 64p in credit :j !!

Can you put me down for £15 next week please? :A I love this thread - so easy to keep a track of spends and loads more fun than a paper spending diary

Have a good weekend all!! xxx

Things got a bit out of control towards the end of the week I think I spent about £30 so I am red for the week.

New thread has been set up here all results and pledges posted so far have been updated.

Hi everyone.

I've still got £6.10 left in my purse!!! I couldn't even think of anything to spend it on!! That's going straight into savings.

I'm not sure what my budget will be next week. I've got to do a lot of driving about so mega petrol costs will be incurred.

I think what will be best is if I say my budget will be £30 again and it wont include petrol spends.

Hope everyone has a good week x
