NSD yesterday and today! Only through sheer desperation though!!

It does get easier!! Doesn't it?......

I don't think it gets easier you just become more determined;)

I have had a terrible day as work didn't go so well so I spent £5 on my card for lunch and snacks, £3.70 on profiteroles from M&S:o and £3 on a bottle on wine. Total £11.70 giving weekly total of £29.70 not looking too good:mad:

Should be a NSD today, staying home all day to do uni work, then got to go into uni at 3pm for a meeting and then straight from the meeting to work! Train ticket already paid for (season). Just got to make sure I take my dinner to eat on the train!! 4 NSD so far.

Gotta love it when my brother tells me he's 'only' got £120 to spend this week!!:rolleyes:

Oh I could easily cope with "only" £120 per week!!

Spends of 40p on a packet of wotsits (had a craving :rolleyes: ) so thats 65p for tomorrow. Got a feeling OH is paying for Friday night drinks this week

It has all gone wrong today I am defintely red for this week. I spent money on food today about £5 but that does include lunch for tomorrow too. I also spent another £6 on food for dinner and I should could this as the grocery budget is no longer (it has ceased to be, it is an ex grocery budget .... ). I am sure I have spent other stuff but I can't think what.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: oh well there is always next week.

Happy Friday Budgeteers,

I am away this weekend so will post when I can. I will start the new thread on Sunday night when I return. Please post results and pledges for next week on this one and I will add to the new one when I get back.

Have a good weekend.

I was bad this week and didn't really think about a budget apart from B*gger All I therefore ended up putting some things on my credit card. D'oh!

I will ruminate over the thoughts of my plans for next week and budget shortly.

Have a good trip away Pointy!

I'm going to be red this week - doggles has got to go to the vets for a nasty rash and my emergency fund is still depleted from the flea issues a couple of weeks ago!

Have a good weekend away Pointy - I'll be down for a fiver again next week please!

Happy weekend all :beer:

I went shopping, and bought some boots for myself- whoops that my budget shot £14 spent yesterday on non presents- so I'm red already- though they are gorgeous, comfy and cost only £10 (thank the lord for my payrise) I'm going to cogitate on my weekly budget for next week as it will include, food, clothes and personal spends tohelp me keep track of it all.
NSD today though

Hello all,

Well I spent £6.00 today so I am within my budget.. I will add it all together and post in my signature as I forgot to take note before logging in.

I will try and stick to a budget of £20 next week and fingers crossed as well.

Well done to everyone and thank-you to pointypenguin for all the admin type stuff. I have really found that this challenge makes me think about how much money I used to waste and how much I can save by being that little bit organised.
