  • Evening all

    Sorry haven't kept up with posting this week, but as you can see from the signature i have failed completely this week. though have been having a very loved up week with H2B now he's back. however it has included going out and doing stuff (v costly) though we have shared costs.

    Good luck with the romance Colleen - have a good day with mr delivery.

    Hope everyone has been enjoying their food, i go away for a few days and its turned into food chaos on here!!!! (she says having stuffed herself silly on a number of meals out.)

    pp - I'm declaring FAILED this week, not sure i should set a budget next week as H2B still at home. actually i should really as coming up to payday and v skint so will go for £30 please.

    Have a good weekend all

    Fail due to spending £80+ on concert tickets :rotfl:
  • Hi everybody! Well this was my first week doing the challenge, and I spend £20...did I say I'd spend £12, or £15? Anyways, I was being super strict and then sort of overspent when a combination of a work rota muck up and me forgetting to defrost my pittas caught me out. Damn. Well, I'm on my recession proof holiday as of tonight, going to Scotland to spend a week with my parents and I've budgeted £90. That's my pledge for this week...have a great weekend all! xxx

    P.S. Freesian, at least the concert is something to look forward to! Who are you going to see?

    Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30


  • I'm declaring

    £15/ £12.50:rotfl:

    I managed to only spend £2.50 during my working week... I'm back home with my family for the weekend and as I'm still within budget I'm about to go and put £10 in my dad's car and use it today / tomorrow as he kindly insured me on his car without telling me!!


    Next week is a weird one for me as I will be at Glastonbury from Wednesday. Glasto has already been budgeted for... but Monday and Tuesday next week have not.

    So... I am challenging myself to have two NSD on Monday and Tuesday so for unbudget spends this week I'm saying

    £0 :rolleyes:

    Good luck everyone!
    Proud to be dealing with my debt
