Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 3rd Jan 2010

Evening budgeteers,

No spends from my weekly budget today but I did get a bargain on a backpack from Blacks (£13.99) but this is coming out of another budget. Glad I tried there as I went to TKMaxx first and the only suitable one was £39.99:eek:, I thought that place was supposed to be cheap.:rolleyes:

It is looking good for making green this week. It is weird some weeks I find it really easy not spend money like this week but I am not sure what it is, I need to figure out the magic formula , other weeks money seems to slip through my fingers.

No more snow here in Glasvegas but I hear down south is covered.

Hi All
Its snowing here, again! Spent a small amount today on lunch- my attempt at HM soup didn't go so well, so I opted to sped £150 on a lovely bap.
I know I can stay on budget now, only two days to go til my curry!

£150????!!!!! I'm detecting a mistype or a very overpriced lunch!!:rotfl:

Doing well after OH's sabotage yesterday, NSD for me today so still on £12/£30.
I'm back to doing what I used to do, both me and OH have £30 each, then at end of week we put any money left into a pot. The one with the most at the end of the month gets to pay off one of their bills with all the money.
I am determined to win!!!! (cue evil laugh!)

This sounds like such a good idea especially as if you are good at it as there could be a small fortune at the end of the month (is it just me that would get rather competitive? )

Yesterday was a NSD went to friends for a epiphany celebration which was very enjoyable.

Today I predict another NSD, I'm looking after my nephews, I doubt I'll be venturing far with the 4 of them.

Hey guys, thanks for all the support over the last few days. I am back on the wagon now.

Just swinging by to add £2.10 for a mocha with my friend, £1.45 on lunch and £1.85 posting a book I sold on Greenmet.

Hope everyone is enjoying the snow xx

I have spent £1.95 on coffee (it was cold) and £2.00 on photocopying so that's £3.95 in total so far.
