    Evening all

    Yay to your OH kezlou :T:T A little celebratory takeaway is allowed in the circumstances.

    NSD for me and am declaring on £14. so GREEN, though that's cheating a little bit as i'm at friends for the weekend, so there will be MORE SPENDING, more than likely on :beer:

    Can i be put down for £20 again next week please pp.

    Thank you

    Hi everyone,

    I must admit, I haven't really been keeping a track on what I've been spending this week. But I've only been using the cash I've allowed myself so I'm still within budget - though probably only just, so I'll declare £20 for this week.

    Next week I'm going to give the weekly budget a miss. It's my birthday next week, so lots may need to be spent on clothes and a good night out. :beer:

    I'll be back the week after though.

    x
    Looking forward to the future.

    Morning all,

    On Thursday night at the quiz I spent £8.50 (and we came last:rolleyes:)

    Friday £3 on coffee at work and £4.20 on lunch. So another red week :mad:

    I am off to the library now and then to a wedding later so I will start the new thread tomorrow morning. Please add you results and pledges for next week and I will update the new thread.

    Have a good weekend budgeteers.

    well done to everyone with green weeks :T

    I think I came in just under, was hard to calculate as I had some money left over from last week that I used for farm visit and have had to post items but that is coming out of Ebay profit so I think over all I am just in there!

    Next week I am aiming for £30 as I need to get my nails done! :D

    Everything gone to pot this week. I can't remember what I've spent on what! I don't think I have spent £10 on ME but purse is pretty empty. DD home all week with a nasty cold and have been buying her allsorts. Only thing I think I have bought for myself is Prima magazine £2.70 (for free chequebook of vouchers) and some chocolate maltesers £2 big bag. Didn't go to town on Thursday as I normally do so no spends there. However I will declare that I have spent £10 this week because there is bound to be something I have forgotten!! Will do better next week. Put me down for another £10 please.japanese-004.gif

    Hi ho,

    I have lost count of spends, but haven't been to the cashpoint, so I'm GREEN!

    Can you put me down for £20 next week please?


  • I've completely lost track of my spending this week so put me down as a shameful red. :o My budget for next week is £50.
