Hi all,

So as of Sunday 5th July My budget for the week is £20
Wow....hope I can do it!GC = £150.58/£2500 -
Declaring £24.04 for this week
I did spend a further (naughty) £25 on a Take That T-shirt at the concert last night, but I'm paying for this out of my ebay money, so I'm not counting it (and plus it's been about 4 months since I had a treat, so this should last me for the next four :P )
Pledging another £30 budget for this weekGoing to try to come in under that though! Hope everyone had a lovely week
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time0 -
Declaring this weeks spends at £17.50, spent £2 on a watering can for hubby, and then my food which I have a seperate budget for, very pleased! within budget, so going for £20 next week as well I think!Debt free 11/05/11!
Savings £4000/ £3000 -
Back from the play gym, my lovely DH paid for the kids and I didn't have a drink, so I am declaring £6.71 / £10!!
I'm budgeting for my hair cut and my meal out next week so for unnecessary spends I'm going for a big fat budget of £0! Can I manage 7 NSDs?! I'll give it a damn good go :-)

Aww thanks debs!
I just really want to get this loan paid off, and if it means scrimping for a couple of years then so be it. I WILL get us out of this mess and never get us back into it again!! This challenge is really keeping me on track and making me think do I really need to buy this or that. It puts it all in perspective and you start to wonder how you could ever fritter money like you used to!
I'm enjoying myself at the moment, I know it will get hard sometimes, that's when I'll be crying to you lot for help and encouragement lol.
We're all doing so well lets keep it up and crack whatever it is we're trying to crack :-)
