    Just spent another £3.50 from my budget on Instyle magazine - I blame Martin for his recommendation - but I will use the nail polish and I often buy nails incs ones anyway (admittedly it could be argued I have far too many already but I like pretty nails!)

    Evening all

    Had to do my grocery shopping today but that was budgetted so that spending was allowed. :A

    NSD in terms of weekly spends so I'm declaring a very healthy and green £2.80 for this week. :j

    pp - Hope your weeks spends haven't been too much of a disaster, and you enjoyed yourself.

    f_f - hope you enjoyed your day off and not too busy.

    Hi and welcome to any newbies or returning challengers.

    I'm going to attempt £20 again next week, as going bridesmaid dress shopping on weds, so that is bound to include lunch.

    Enjoy the BH weekend all.

    Hi all,

    i think i exceeded my budget by £5 :o. Not great, but better than i did the time before :rolleyes:.

    I'll be going for another £10 budget next week and will try not to exceed it :o.

    LOL - yes P_P i did enjoy the carrot cake, but felt guilty after eating it. That was £4 i could have saved. Oh well, i take comfort in that i had a couple of nsd this week, which is a result :T.

    Hope it's going well for everyone else.

    Have a great weekend all :beer:.

    I bought the magazine also for the nail varnish:j, hence the overspend. I must learn to pace myselfe.;)

    I didn't think I was going to manage it this week with my big spend so early on BUT so far so good! I haven't counted the money spent buying mystery shop items as this is obviously reimbursed! I spent £21 last sunday I think, £1.14 on postage, £2.95 last night so total of £25.09! Not too bad!

    I am going for £25 next week as I can't see us spending loads!!

    :T

    Under budget this week at 17.89
    Weekly spend was going well:
    DS £5 - school lunch - I know this is extravagant but have been a lot of changes at home with food / spends so easing him in gently!!
    Lightbulbs for cooker hood - £2.89 - now Im cooking everyday opposed to 1-2 times a week I need the lights
    Bottles of water - £10:eek::eek::eek: got caught out at meeting i'd organised in extremely hot room with no water cooler - so off to the rip off hospital shop.

    Please put me down for £20 for next week also please

    Hi everyone,

    I was wondering if i could join in? I really need to stop spending so much money and pay off my overdrafts, CC's etc. Taking part in so many challenges ao this thread would be really helpful as well.

    If its possible please could i have a £40 limit seeing as its the bank holiday weekend.
    Good luck everyone!

    Thanks
