Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 29th November

psychopathbabble

I'd completely forgotten to check this thread and hadn't subscribed! Hello to all the newbies (newer than me anyway!) and good luck!

I'm down to about 7 for the rest of the week as I went out with the girls for lunch as one of them has now gone back to Oz, and 2.45 on lunch yesterday. Shiny NSD for me today as had a long day at work.

I've just done the same as Chuggington girl and now have 3 savings accounts to try and keep track of everything a bit more, but now I have to wait for all the DD's etc to clear and see what I have left! Got in a bit of a muddle earlier this week over what money goes where!

Evening all,

I have just returned from the flick, I went to see the Decent 2 which was ok but I was really annoyed at the couple behind me that rustled through the entire thing. Golden rule of the cinema only eat quiet things:mad:

Anyway spends today were £2 on salad from the canteen and £3 for food before cinema. Total £5

Only two more days until the weekend and also the Scottish meet woohoo:j

Hello Pointy, Been away and then hardly any time to log in.
Been reflecting on the challenge and has found that 'cause of the way I define NSD and my personal situation I need to look at a monthly budget management.
I don't get to do any of the food shopping and apart from travel I should be restrained (which is what I am need to get in check) and my big spend day would be the Saturday. I may fail on one week and be ok for the next 2 but the overall monthly is not yet right.
I am going to go for a monthly management to monitor my spend better and hopefully meet overall target. I wanted to let you know that this challenge over the weeks in Oct/Nov has helped me very much to assess what is right for me and get me in the right track to start on a monthly budget. Thank you xxxx
All the best and have a great Christmas

Am up to £40.05 even with an NSD yesterday as was off sick, but that's coz I forgot that would have to top up my mobile. Taking lunch to work has made such a difference and is a mini personal challenge for me for the whole of December (when I am at work anyways!)

So have just under £30 for the rest of the week which am hoping not to spend too much of!

Hey all!

Resisted the choccy yesterday but caved and bought a bottle of wine instead but it was half price :beer:!! So that's £3.99 out of my budget leaving me £1.01! It was nice wine though......

Hope you enjoy the meet pointy - I'm actually jealous I don't live in Scotland and travelling from Cornwall isn't very economical :rotfl:!!

Wow it's Thursday already and still a no spend day. That's what happens when you work nights and just want to go home and get into bed rather than pop to the shops!

Hi Everyone

Im really cross as I spent £16 on posting christmas cards and a few gifts....I just hadnt thought of how much they would cost to post but altogether it seems such alot! although they will cheer everyone up so thats the main thing.and I bought too many stamps so have 11 stamps left : )

Just disapointed as I was doing so well this week

Although I have really changed my thinking...I think its clocked now! yeah! at long last! as Ive stopped myself sooo many times from buying things which I dont need.I hope it lasts! I spent £1.75 on bread and squash

........so I have £3.25 left

chuggingtongirl

Ahh no I have £5.00 left as the £1.75 is from grocery budget...so not as bad as I thought : )

Postage is ridiculously expensive!! Luckily I think I've posted everything that needs posting now... I hope.
