I'll give this one a go for the 1st time....know I need fuel that I wasn't budgeting for and have to attend an AGM tomorrow night so will need drinks & food as taking OH straight from work and it's an hours drive so won't be back till quite late.
I'll go for £30 this week and aim for less nxt wk.

Ooh, I really need to do this! I am going to spend NO money at all this week, on anything! I am going for a whole week of NSDs. DH and I spent all our monthly budget at the beginning of the month, and we have precisely £8.91 left to get us through to June. Fingers crossed that we can do it!

Hey all

Am changing my budget to £10, don't worry pp. you don't have to change my original budget, i'm just seeing if i can do this, with the £10 in my purse and not withdraw the other £10 from the bank.

well sort of NSD today, have still got my £10, but have purchased one of my bridesmaid dresses from debs, 4% cashback with Quidco, and an added 20% off with a code.:j :j :j (and from my wedding budget)

Am hoping this dress fits and looks luvverly, then i can order the other two. It means i can spend legitimately (sp?) :j:j:j

Not great but could be worse

I have update the first post welcome to the newbies, let us know how you get on through the week and remember the first week is always the hardest

ETO sounds like you have got yourself a bargain there, nothing like a bit of MSE shopping.

:rotfl:at F_F, I will never get used to soft drinks being called juice, to me juice comes from a fruit but that must just be my englishness.
