    No spends from this budget today, only picked up a few groceries.

    So my total spend was £7.98 / £19 so mark me green please. Next week I'll go for £17 please PP.

    Well done to the greens and even more so to SazM for a big purple £0!!.

    Declaring £26.06 for me :D (weird, 26.06....last week 24.04...) Next week I'm going for £10 up to Friday, cos I'm OFF for the weekend :D (oh, and I graduate on Thursday, yay me :D )

    Well done everyone!!

  • Morning everyone,

    Just under target this week, I'm not 100% sure but roughly about £24, so I'm very chuffed.

    Am aiming for £20 this week with not much spending if I can help it.

    Well done everyone.

  • Oh dear, I didn't do so well this week - I'm in the red. I spent a total of £23.20 - so well over my £10 budget. In my defence it nearly all went on eating out - we are redecorating at the moment and cooking has been tricky. Well done to everyone who has been good this week.

    As normality should return next week I'll try for £10 again.

    Congrats to Colleen on graduating - enjoy it!

  • Hi all

    I don't know exactly what i have spent this week, but it is definitely green.

    Have had a really good week off, not looking forward to going back to work next week. tho it will help me to save money.

    Congratulations Colleen with the graduation.

    Will set a budget of £20 for next week. Really need to get back on track of spending as little as poss. Have had a really good 4 weeks with OH being home, however it has been pretty bad for the bank balance.

    Have a good weekend all

    ETO.

    To be honest, I'm just glad it's over with! I already had my job in the bag before I got my results, so the only thing to do now is to photocopy my certificate and send it to the HR department :D Oh and file it away in my record of achievement brand spanking new folder..I keep losing my certificates and everyone seems to want photocopies of them...I don't dare think when the last time I caught sight of my GCSEs was!
