1.63 for me so far! Went to the bank today to change some money and almost had to run through town to avoid spending it all! Hope everyone is having a good week x

Evening all
Ok my calculations show I spent £24 last night which is better than I thought. Add this to the £5 spent on fruit and stuff from M&S yesterday. Total £29. Then today I spent £3.50 on my card at work and £3 on lunch. Total for the week so far £41.50 :eek:
Oh well I have had a good run for the last few weeks I was due a disaster.
I hope you are all getting on better than me:oWeekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30

Bought some cakes for work today - £1.19 spent - still under budget and only one more day to go ..... :j
Anything left at the end of the week if I come in under budget goes in the sealed pot .... :jMortgage FreeSave £5,000 in 2020[CENTER:j0 -
So Monday our internet was disconnected :mad: which I won't bore you with but I've been offline for days but have some sort of access again... so...
Have taken lunch into work every day this week which I'm pleased with myself for and had 2 NSD. Monday I count as a spend day as I bought some glasses (with Christmas money, so budgeted for) and train tickets (also budgeted for).
And the thing I am most pleased with is my regular catch up with a very good friend. We used to blow £40 (easy) on wine, nibble and food when we met up. On Wednesday we went for a 2for1 deal, stuck to a glass of wine each and that was a manageable £12. So still under budget!
So I've so far spent £12 this week. £3 left... which should be easy : )
I have missed you people, so glad I have access to the internet again!Proud to be dealing with my debt0 -
