    As I predicted I blew it this week (making it 2/3 when I've gone red :o). So I got my shoes £7.99, then, and this is what really did it, I ventureed onto the "grab it while u can" board (fatal why do I do it???) and then popped to Sains and got their box of Stella@ for £5 nd some mushrooms for tea, then popped in to Tesco and got a couple of bits for £2.29, I wouldn't normally count food as its budgeted elsewhere but I overspent on that this week as well.... Oh well I'm red and my total is £23.96 (its not too shabby). Will work out what I need for next week....

    ops realised calculations are wrong! maths has never been my strong point hence being on here...

    £23.96 as detailed

    I've not been paid this month because my boss has failed to do a tiny piece of admin :mad:

    Luckily I've only spent money where I had budgeted, so nothing spent so far this week, not sure what we are doing tomorrow so I won't declare until then.

    No idea what I've spent this week, but its more than £10, so I'm declaring RED for this week, and I'd like to try and stick to £10 next week please.

    Happy Easter everyone

    Spent my last few pounds and pence on swimming for the kids yesterday and drinks at Bella Italia (meal courtesy of Mr T :) ) DH put the rest to so I didn't go into the red!
    So a green for me of £13.50/£13.50.

    I'll go for £20 next week please.
