Hello, another week gone already ...

I was red last week .... please put me down for £5.20 spent last week. Thanks.

However, for this week, am determined to be green. Please put me down for £10 this week. Have a lunch at work.

Thanks.

I agree Heatherykins.... and Chuggingtongirl. I used to always use my debit card but now try to carry cash. Although it doesn't stop me from spending too much altogether, it has helped me cut down a bit. Now I just need to tackle the unnecessary temptations such as eating out with friends, buying bits I could do without etc etc. Ive cut down a lot, just not as much as I need to.

I noticed I've paid off £900 this month from my debt, if I could do that every month then I'd be debt free in about 18 months! I really need to focus on that!

And I agree with you all, too! Money doesn't feel like money if it's on your DC, wheras if it's emptying your purse/wallet it sure does.

Declaring at a rubbish £10 for this wek as DD has had almost all my cash for presents for her teen-y friends.:(

Today as a NSD is doomed!:wall:

OH woke up in one of those bad moods where you're supposed to guess what's wrong! Several days ago (and I only vaguely remember doing this), I promised him a breakfast roll from Subway (you know, the ones that don't cost any more than about £1.50?). Well, he woke up at abot 12pm, crabbit as an irritated swan and although the breakfast rolls were long finished at Subway, I went and got him a Subway roll, because (as we say in Scotland) I'd have had to put up with his greetin face all day if I didn't!!!<<<<<(practically him when he woke up!)

Sooooo, spends so far = Footlong Meatball whatever-it-is £5-09:eek: And 3 cookies 99p - cos I needed something for ME too and he wanted a cookie too! Will do better the rest of the week, I'm sure!:(

Total Spends this week: £70.00/£6.08

good morning Pointy, i missed last week and went over by about £5 the week before cos i had had the week off and went out for dinner a couple of times. Anyway, please put me down for £10 cos i see no reason to spend this week apart from a magazine at slimming world.

Good luck everyone

Well I avoided the coffee spend this morning by inviting them all round to mine! (The fact that I'd baked a carrot cake probably swayed them )
So today will be a NSD
