  • Hi everyone,

    Another No Spend Day today!!!!:j

    Total Spent this week: £70.00/£26.93
    :A2014 = my year for change!:dance:

    I think i belong here...

    coffee, lunches and plastic ohh my! They are my enemy!

    Plastic is a real problem as i have the memory of a goldfish...7 secs after payment has been made and its as if it didnt happen until i get to Sunday and realise i have £6 to last me for next 2 weeks!

    I have borrowed £50 so thats my weekly limit! Technically its to last me 2 weeks so thats £25!

    I dont know what the colours mean!

    Signing up for the no make up/toiletries challenge if i can find it!!!! x

    Welcome Bad Weather I have added you to the list for £25. The colours are the results from last week if you stick to budget you are green, if you go over you are red and if you spend zero you get to be purple.

    I have to declare £12 for dinner yesterday and £3 for lunch today.
    Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30

    Grr my purple week plan is ruined, I had to pay a pound to my dress down day (I should have just turned up in my regular stuff!!) but I'm very much green this week with only £1 spent, I am going to include Saturday this week, as DH is sick so we'll probably end up staying at home.
    Have a great weekend all

    Hurray!:j:j:j:j
    I'm exactly green today, having spent exactly £10- my allowance for the week. To the penny.
    I paid in Mr M tonight with a selection of coins, inluding 1p pieces. I don't care- I'm green!
