Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 24th May

Debtoxing

Hello! I've not been able to separate my husband from the laptop for a few days, so I've not been able to update my achievements. Anyway, we managed not to spend any money last week for the purposes of this challenge (although I finally had to admit defeat on Saturday and bought some toilet rolls and toothpaste, after 15 consecutive NSDs!).

Now I'm planning on not spending any more money until 1st June, so £0.00 is right for me again this week. Thanks for including me again!

Evening all

Little_miss_moneysaver I have added you to the list you are now a fully fledged budgeteer.

jtr sorry to hear you are having a red week I am sure next week will be better.

Debtoxing :T:T:T:T it is amazing what you can achieve when you set your mind to it.

For me today £1.20 on bus to work I was going to walk but forgot my lunch so was too late and decided it was better to pay for the bus than pay for lunch. I then spent £1 on cheapy razors from the £1 shop this is an experiment to see if they are any good. Then another £1.20 on the bus home as it was raining

Hi all

Well i thought i was going to have a spend day today as i went out for lunch again, was supposed to be coffee, but fancied a late lunch, and my friend treated me as i treated her the last time. :j so NSD for me which was needed. :j

Hope everyones well. good luck to those of you that can still make it green.
Commiserations to those like me that have absolutely, not a chance of being green this week.

I wonder if i can be the baddest budgeteer this week. *she says like it's an honour*

Sorry, it's late, just in from a twilight shift and cannot sleep, but still tired enough to talk cr4p.

I am doing alright so far. My aim is to spend less than £30.
So far I have spent;
Cinema.....12.00....this includes drinks and some sweets for son from our local shop.
Parking......2.00.....for 4 hours
Oldest son......4.00....he got paid yesterday, in £50 notes!! I am putting them in the bank for him today, but that means he has no money on him or debit card. So I gave him 4.00 in case he needs petrol or something.
So total so far.....£18.00
Should not need to spend much today, just parking.
Same for tomorrow.
Will update on Saturday, hopefully with a big smile!

Evening all

Today I spent £1.40 on the bus home as I had food shopping to carry (that is my story and I am sticking to it :rolleyes:) and £1.48 for some healthy snacks to supplement my lunch.

:rotfl:at ETO being the baddddest bugeteers on the block, we all have bad weeks. It must be hard if you work shifts I get very grumpy if my sleep has been disturbed.

How is everyone else getting on?

Hi all

Well i spent another £12 today at the spa i went to for my friends hen do, scones, smoothies, and a chocolate eclair. Nomnomnom :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

So declaring at £101.36. Was always gonna be a big one. Neh mind.

Well food diet and money diet must start again, H2B has informed me he is home in 2 weeks not 4, :j:j:j:j:j

So if i can save a bit in the next two weeks we can have a few treats when he's home.

and it is 126 days to my wedding. (not that i'm counting.) :T:j:T so big spends ahead. (and need to fit in my dress)

Hope everyone's had a good week.

PS am i the baddest? am i, am i, am i?

pointypenguin

Well ETO that is a whopping total so I am thinking the baddest crown may be yours this week.

I spent £4.80 on lunch, £1.35 on the bus to work and £1 on dress-down at work. Which makes me green this week. A few cheeky after work spends on dinner and a benefit make-up kit but I found out I am getting a payrise so I am justifying this to myself.

Hi all sorry i haven't been on been so busy this week with the kids.

But for the first time ever (well this year) i haven't spent a single penny this week!!!!:eek:
We have literally been taking picnics everywhere and going out for drives to the beach and diving of sand dunes. Oh and going for long walks all over the place. The petrol was already in the car from a couple of weeks ago, so haven't needed to fork out for fuel either, bonus.
Please could i be put down for £20 for next week please.

So i'm declaring £0.00 out of £20:j:j:j
