Can I change my budget to £10? I am going to my friends for dinner tomorrow, but she text me to ask if fish and chips is ok.... which is going to cost me money. Great start!

Good morning everyone. After a long drought, I've finally managed a green week last week with a spend of £78.59 out of a pledged £100 - woo hoo! This week I'm going to pledge £100 again, as I have already budgeted to spend £65 on a food shop tomorrow, leaving me with £35 for the rest of the week.

solongmarianne - sorry to hear about your horrendous journey.

psychopathbabble - fish and chips, yummy! At least it'll be a real treat - my mouth is salivating just thinking about it - enjoy!

loopylorial - welcome to the thread!

Hi,

Can I join in at £40.00? Sounds a bit high but it'll be my first attempt and I owe someone £20.00, meaning technically it'll only be £20.00.

Thanks!

Hi

Sorry I keep pledging then either forgetting and going over or deserting you all!

Back again ....have £15 this week...no spend day today

I intend to have drinks with friends this week but other than that not going near the local shop! I decided that was my downfall as I pop in for milk/bread and spend £10 each time so totally avoiding it now

Thanks all for the welcome! A good first day with my fiver still intact - long may it continue.

Had a spangly NSD today, and been exceptionally good, did some exercise, stuck to my weight watcher's points all week, feeling really positive as I'm just about to super balance transfer a loan which had a massive APR to my MBNA on 0% for 9 months, today has been a good day!
