    Need to put my weekly spend to £25, as I need to see how much the gym will cost for two days, and my train fares aren't included, but I do need to get a flask for soup/tea for uni.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.
  • Hi Everyone

    Hello to the newbies

    Please can I say £50 for this week - thats including food spends/everything as Ive overstocked (and over eaten but thats another story!!) on food so not doing a 'big shop' this week and trying to empty the cupboards and freezer.

    Have a good week everyone

    Evening budgeteers,

    A warm welcome to some familiar faces from last year that have rejoined and a howdy to the newbies. The first week is always the hardest so don't be too hard on yourself it does get easier.

    I had £5 left in my purse so I am amending my weekly budget to £25. Spends today were £3 on lunch and £1.30 on 3D film at the cinema. I went to see avatar which was techinically amazing but the story was not so great. So total so far £4.30.
