Ooh, i made it this week, £45.71 out of £50 with 3 NSDs!
Don't think i will do so well this week as have already spent £13 ... so put me down for £70 all up this week, I'm going to Taste of Christmas on the Sunday, so will probably succomb to some food/drink there
Thanks all, it's really making me think about what I'm spending!

I'd like to pledge to £20 - this will give me the chance to buy a couple of stocking fillers and hopefully nothing else!:rolleyes:

Hope its ok,

Hi All
Spent £2.70 so far of my budget- £2.10 at a service station coming back from the in laws, and 60p today on a yogurt, doing the weekly shop today but thats another budget- and no further planned expenditures. Good luck all!

Hi everyone.

Spent £8 on a take away for us - putting up decorations left us starving and no energy to cook. Poor excuse I know! £12 left then.

Hi pointy,
Taste of Xmas is a big expo full of food and wine .... i think it's hosted by Waitrose

i won free tix (they are approx £32 for 2 at the moment) and it's also where my exam is in a couple of weeks so thought I could do a test run of how to get there
There'll be loads of tastings and I'm sure I'll be tempted to buy something!

Hey Bloojeans! Glad you came to join us, I'm sure Pointy will add you soon as she has the time.

The rules are really what you want to make them. I don't include Direct Debits, Bills, Fuel etc as they are budgeted for. So for me it's just incidental spends like snacks, drinks, newspapers, going out with friends etc, but it's whatever suits you best.

Good luck to you in your first week! xx
