    Evening all

    Declaring on £25.32, which is definitely red but have enjoyed spending it. lovely meal and wedding bargains. so not too :mad: at myself.

    Am going for £30 next week, which will still leave me £20 ish to go towards the debt at end of the month. :j

    I agree juicy girl, i was so spending without thinking or caring and now i really think about what i'm spending on and if i need it. i'm still enjoying lunches and coffees out, although these are irregular. but stops me in my tracks if i want to pop to the shop - choc, mags etc.

    Today spent £9.40 on a takeaway. Total for the week for this challenge £20.59/£25 so green for me please PP.

    Also spent £79:eek: at the hairdressers but luckily that was budgeted for.

    Can you put me down for £15 next week please.

    Morning all

    The new thread has been set up here

    I spend about £2 on lunch stuff yesterday. So I am declaring £18.50 for the week which means I am finally green :j:j:j:j

    I went to the dog racing with the guys from work last night and spent about £30 including dinner and bets, won a couple of races but not enough to break even :rolleyes:, as they say gambling is for fools. But it was fun to see the dogs run their little hearts out.

    Clairelouise I have added you to the new thread as the challenge usually ends on a Friday please join us for the new challenge.
