    Hey everybody! Hope you all had a good easter

    I think the key to this for me is to stay away from town! I went in on Thursday and it was in total quite expensive.

    But then I managed a real NSD on Friday.

    Anyway my total for last week was £48.80 so I am Green :D

    Can you put me down for £45 next week please pointy? Baby steps :o I'm in awe of Bailey's Purple week last week!

    PS. Current total for the week is £13.40.

    Thank you, I think it all depends on what you count. For this challenge I don't count anything that I have already budgeted for, this includes food and diesel. Also you propably have very exciting lifes, where as I'm a SAHM, who tries to entertain and educate my children as cheaply as possible, I would love to spend an hour or so in a coffee shop with friends but the thought of having to take the children doesn't apeal, so the money stays in my purse.

    We had visitors staying for the weekend, who went home about an hour ago as a result had a lovely weekend and not spent any money :j

  • Spent too much on rubbish yesterday.... although some of it was easter presents. Just off to count up how much I have left, but I bought dr pepper, lucozade (both much needed to keep me awake driving home) easter egg, daffodils, gum, some chocolate for me to eat!
