Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 21st Mar 2010

Baileys_Babe

I managed NSD's on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Monday bought a friends birthday present, discounted by 60% :jas well as a present for my sister to thank her for being the only person with me when I gave birth to my daughter.

Yesterday was my daughters 1st birthday, we went out for a meal with friends and family, which was lovely especially as I didn't pay

I include Saturdays in my challenge, I still have £35 left in this weeks budget but we are going to a wedding tomorrow and I have no idea how much this going to cost us. We have a room booked at the venue, which we paid for months ago.

Hi everyone ! I managed to stay within budget! Spent £45.23, if I count only 50% of food as being my money, and £63.05 if I don't cheat . Am going with the actual figure...

So am going to go and do food shopping today so that does not come out of my weekly spend for next week as it comes out of a different budget/account...

Can you put me down for £40 next week please?

Hi everyone! Can I join you for next week?

As a first timer, I'm not really sure what I'm capable of! So I'm going to pledge what I believe is a generous £50 for my first week, and we'll see how I go from there!:D

ok, it's going to be difficult. I do not need anything this coming week, all food and petrol paid for. Am going to pledge the £2 that is currently in my purse so PP please put me down for £2 next week.:eek:

Many thanks.

Afternoon all

It has been a hectic week and I can say without a doubt I am red:o I am off for a night away tonight as I feel I need a break from the city but this is budgeted for so can't be too bad. I will update and start the new thread tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend budgeteers.:D

Hi All
Spent only £2.50 last night as I got a lift there and back and had two drinks bought for me, went shopping today with the remainder, spent £3 in poundland and £4 in Holland and Barratt, so I'm declaring green at £9.50
I'd like to pledge £5 for next week please, Pointy, I'm trying to keep personal spends down as much as possible.

Good morning everyone!

This week I'm red with a total spend of £85.30 after a couple of unexpected buys ...

... I was running very late for work one day and didn't have time to make myself lunch, so treated myself by buying healthy sushi and fruit as I haven't been eating particularly well lately.

... plus, I ended up buying a couple of bargain big chains to tie down my new (to me) old motorbike as my last one was stolen - I suspect it was lifted into the back of a van - so fingers crossed that the chains will stop this one from disappearing in the middle of the night.

Pointy - I'll pledge £35 again for W/C 28th March 2010 - fingers crossed that I make it green this time.

Welcome to the thread Firewalker and karmachilovething; good luck everyone!
