    I could do a 'no spend outside the budget' week. We food shop weekly and I have driving lessons so I couldn't avoid spending all togehter. Though those 2 things are budgeted for...so I don't count them lol

    im def gonna go for it. i have plenty of food in so have no excuses!

    Although i do have a table booked for dinner on thursday nite, but am gonna try and convince my OH he needs to pay!! ha ha! Otherwise it will be a £15 spend (an offer for 3 courses and glass of wine for £15 pp from lastminute.com)
  • I might have a go actually. Though might have a 'don't spend over a £5' week. Money is a bit tight this month as I've been throwing it at debts to stop me spending, so got about £15 till month end, just bought my new bus ticket so all shiny!

    I would love to, today has to be a spend day though.
    Friend's birthday so going to the pub, £1.20 for a diet coke. Got no fresh food in so need to stock up on milk, cheese bread and veggies, £7. But that is all I need for the rest of the week. Going to try to not spend another penny until next Monday.....
    Good challenge!
