    Well done, KezLou! :A

    I've also managed another week of spending no money. 23 out of the last 24 days have been NSDs for us! Unfortunately, we are almost completely out of essentials now - no milk, no cheese, no eggs, no bread, no fresh fruit and vegetables, no petrol...! So on Monday I am going to have to do some serious shopping. I don't know yet how much I will have to spend - I will probably end up trying to stock up for the whole month again and blow most of my budget like I did in May. :rolleyes:

    So I think I'd better be excluded from this week's challenge - hopefully I'll be back next week. (And hopefully not TOO skint!)

    Thanks for all the inspiration you gave me in May - I don't think I could have stuck to my budget without you all!

    I DID IT!!!!!!:j:j:j:j

    Up to yesterday I had spent £18 of my £30. My youngest went to a friends house for the whole day yesterday, giving me the whole day to myself and it was great!
    As a thank you, I brought her a bottle of wine costing £4.99.

    And that is it. I still have £7.01 in my purse:j

    Kids are back to school next week, so should not need very much. Can I please be put down for £15.
    Thanks
