Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 25th October

EverTheOptimist

Evening all

Couple of NSD's for me thankfully, trying to get to the end of the week without dipping into my wage (for incidentals)!!! that's a challenge in itself!!

Have had my fix of shopping, did my big food shop last night. lots of housework to do tomorrow so that will keep me out of the shops for another day. and helping hubby with some course work on sat.

my mantra for next few days -i have no reason to go the shops! i have no reason to go the shops!

Hope you're on the mend true27

hope you enjoyed the film f_f.

Morning all!

Yesterdays spends were £1.50 at the movies (If you've not been to see Up then go, it's fab!) £1.75 on a glass of wine and 40p for a paper.

Have a good Friday!

Thanks

Happy Friday one and all. I have finished my marathon of nights out and I am looking forward to sitting on the sofa and going to bed at a decent hour tonight. Spends yesterday were about £10 on lunch and £2 at the quiz last night. We didn't win but came 9th out of about 35 team so not a bad effort I think.:j

Well done on the quiz pointy! :beer:

Happy Friday all!

Im aiming for a no spend week. Filled the van with diesel on Friday night so i wont need to fill up before next Monday. I was out on Saturday so i will be staying in this weekend with the gf Getting dark earlier makes nights in better i think Phone bill and digs paid for the month so not due again until middle of November....and its that magic day this Friday.....


Payday

Well its payday and not spent a penny this week I did overtime at work to cover the cost of a night out tomorrow night Payday today, just magic!

Spent £35 on petrol on Tuesday, but thats filled the tank and we don't have to fill up again for a few weeks, spent £15 on food bits (DH leaving work cakes!) and £11 charity fun day at my work- £4 of our budget left- so I'll be green this week £96 think I'll go for £70 next week, food, one night out and personal spends.

Well, I overspent last night by about £5, so I am a wee bit disappointed.. but I was kind of expecting to overspend - when alcohol is involved I have no willpower at all. Oh well.:mad:

Please put me down for £20 next week please..

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Please could I join next week. I have done a budget which leaves me £40 for anything not budgetted for but I'd like to spend less than that to help with Christmas and boost my presents savings pot. And to show myself I can control my spending.

I need to try sticking to a weekly time to take my money out and taking a 'when it's gone it's gone' approach as I'm generally good at the idea of budgetting in theory and not so good in practice.

I'm hoping this will keep me on the straight and narrow in November.

I think I'll go for £5 again next week please pointy. With any luck I might actually get out of bed to spend (:rolleyes:) some next week lol!

Happy weekend all :beer:

Morning all,

This week I am definitely red I think I have spent in the region of £50 but a few years ago I would easily have spent double that figure. I have a mystery shop to do today and I have to find something to wear for this wedding this evening so I need to get moving.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I will set up the new thread tomorrow.
