    *NSD* for me today (although I know I've already overspent this week, but pah, I'm still going to see if I can get through the week with all NSD!)

    Well done everyone! Sounds like we're all having pretty good weeks :) Mr Delivery has promised me a NSD on Saturday as he knows how skint I am :)

    Have a great rest of the week everyone :)

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

    No spend for me today! I'm going to a jewellery party tomorrow night, after DS school fair lol so there's a possibility of spending a little bit! Ought to keep within my £30 though no probs.

    Hi pointypenguin and other weekly challengers!

    I'd like to declare in at £4.26 this week. Another £5 again for next week please. Thank goodness it's my last week of £5, back to £10 again after next week. This £5 a week mularky has been killing me! £5 goes absolutely nowhere!

    One good point this week is that I've got my debt to under £2k! Very pleased about this as have been chipping away at it for weeks. :j

    Thank goodness it's Friday! Have a great week everyone. Will try to post in the week to keep me on the straight and narrow. :beer:

    Doing extremly well this week. Planned to spend some of my money yesterday on a take away (naughty I know) but my sister treated me, result.
    Next week I'm sure I'll blow it and some as we are on holiday.

  • Evening Budgeteers!

    I cannot believe that I have gone a whole working week and only spent £2.50 - so pleased!!

    Think I am particularly proud of not being tempted by additional spends while waiting for my train at Euston last night...

    Anyway, good to hear so many are on track too

    I've still got 2 more days to go... so will be declaring whether I spend anything that I've not budgeted for by Sunday.

    Enjoy the weekend!
    Proud to be dealing with my debt

    Booo - I spent £12.46 this week so 46p over - grrrr. No excuses really.

    Next week I'd best go for a little more as its payday so I'm going for £22 please.

    Well done to all, well done to the greenies for making it- especially anyone who is new this week and came out green. Never mind fellow reds - I know I spent less than I would have done without the weekly spend challenge.

    Have a good weekend everyone
