Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 26th April

EverTheOptimist

Welcome focus888

wigwam, it's up to you what you include in your weekly budget, but i personally dont include budgetted spends in this challenge, i use this for incidental spends, all those little things i buy that when i look at it i didnt really need.

Doh! forgot to add that i have spent £2.80, though the coke was BOGOF, so 8 cans for that, will def help get me through my two nightshifts.

ETO

PS no wonder i'm in debt if i think 2 x 6 is 8, so i actually got 12 cans of coke. :rolleyes:

Hello!

£0.50 on coffee today as flasks are on a high shelf. Bl**dy boyfriend and his massive......... height :rotfl:

£2.05 on a birthday card

£1.04 on reduced creme eggs in Boots. They looked too tasty. Ate on packet of Dairy Milk Caramel eggs (YUM!!) gave two packs to colleagues and one for OH. He's very pleased

I also spent money on food, but that's from the groceries budget, so I have spent £3.59 by my count (Please tell me if it's wrong!) Which is quite good!

Ok, I spent £50 in IKEA yesterday - but that was a planned spend for much needed kitchen stuff so does that count if it was budgeted for? If so I need a budget of 70 :eek:for this week. If it doessn't count then I will try for £20

Wigwam as ETO said it is up to you what you include in the weekly budget. If it is something you planned to spent and have budgeted then fair enough I think most people will agree you can spend that but this is for "silly spends" that were not really necessary and you could easily have done without. Having said that feel free to include what you want this is your challenge.

F_F I sympathise I am also one of diminutive stature, I have steps in my kitchen for such high-shelf emergencies. Also checked you calculations they seem right to me.

Busterollie you must own a lot of Hello Kitty merchandise what is the weirdest thing you own? (Sorry just being nosey now:p)

Today I spent £2.60 on indegestion tablets but think I am going to be cheeky and add these to the toiletries budget. I also spent £2.81 in M&S, I took lunch to work but needed something to stop me wanting to eat the books in the library after work. So total for me today is £2.81, total for the week so far £6.51.

I'm not teeny-tiny as I'm about 5'6" I think, but our kitchen is teeny-tiny, so when you put things on top of the cupboards it's really hard to reach as other things are in the way.

Shall get OH to rescue the flasks tomorrow.
