Still no spending for me - two days left and then - hopefully - my £1 will go in the sealed pot ..

Evening

Only spends today were £3 on bonusball at work but that is me paid up for a few weeks and it is a triple rollover (£117) so who knows might be worth it come Saturday.

I persuaded my friend to come round for dinner tomorrow night so that should minimise the spends slightly.

£2.05 on some sweets for the children after school (oh...and there might have been some for me too...) Do need to put some money in my pot (£365 in 365 days) as I owe £3!!!!

No other non-budgeted spends though:T

I've failed my fellow challengers. I spent £2.50 on a pint of beer with a couple of work collegues. My dreadful boasting of no spend lies in tatters:(

Can I beg forgiveness?

Don't worry it happens to the best of us. I must say a £0 budget would be impossible for me I know I need some cash that I can spend. That way I take so long deciding if that thing is worth it or should I save it incase there is something else I want. Might be worth trying for £5-£10 next week and then try cutting it down week by week. Good luck for the rest of the week.:D

I'm doing ok, haven't spent anything of my £0 budget!!

However, I am suffering. pointypenguin, what you said about better having a few pounds available, so you don't feel deprived! Ah well, only few more days and it will be over

Food shop was in yesterday (seperate budget so that doesn't count!) but it does mean less spending on snacks etc now:j

Doing better than last week so far... £7.55 of my £25 budget... am hoping to keep it under to make up a little for my dramatic overspend last week!

I am at the theatre later today and it's in the city centre so hopefully, fingers crossed, I'll be able to resist spending too much though I anticipate a slightly higher daily spend than usual!

Not going to have chance to spend today so a no spend day for me

Been very bad at updating this week. Spent £10 on lottery for the week, and £3 on work collections and a WW magazine. so still on track!

Another £2.48 for me, bringing me to £4.68 for the week, this one should be an easy one
