I think people will just wonder what show you're promoting! It sounds like good fun.

I'm in the red already this week :mad:. I spent £6.70 on a recorded delivery parcel. As the next couple of weeks are looking a bit hectic - what with weddings etc, I think I'll bow out for this week and next, until life returns a bit more to normal. Good luck keeping green everyone and enjoy the Edinburgh fringe to PP and F-F.

Thanks Millie sorry to hear you are red already I hate it when it was something unexpected like a parcel that takes me over instead of deliberate spending.

Spent £5 on a pair of shoes for work today.

Quite a bargain there, where did you get them from? I need new shoes for work but I always grudge spending money on clothes for work or is that just me?

They are a pair of crocs style (yuk I hate them LOL) white ones, actually they were sketchers, couldn't get real crocs there's too many holes lol, from sports direct.com shop. I'm a dental nurse so have to wear weird shoes lol. At least they were in the sale. I'm like you I begrudge spending on work wear, especially as I only work one day a week!!!

Monday & Tues were NSDs for me for this challenge - this rain is encouraging me to stay indoors at lunchtime. I did buy a belt yesterday (from ebay) but thats coming out my clothes budget- just hope it fits when it arrives.

Fail on the NSW from me:

My brother is doing some kind of charity gubbins so £5 to that, and my uncle is in hospital, so £1.49 on a Get Well card.

£6.49 out of £40 with two days to go isn't bad though, so no bad feelings from me

£4.01 spent in M&S for snacks to go with lunch and biscuits for my team at work.

Sorry to hear you had to break you NSW F_F sounded like you were doing well.

Hope everyone else is getting on well.

Happy Friday Budgeteers,

Yesterday I spent £3 on a bagel and starbuck from the canteen and then £1.40 on stuff to go with lunch.

I haven't made lunch today so will be buying something hopefully I should still make it green this week.

Morning all,

Spends for yesterday were £9 on lunch out and 50p in the chocolate machine so I am red for the week but it could have been much worse.

Anyway I have a mystery shop today and I am going to go to the cinema and make use of my cinema card. They said the weather should be good here but not looking too great yet.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
