    Hi Pointypenguin & all

    I used to do this challange 2008/2009 but due to a family death I stopped.

    Anyhow the reccession at the supermarket is really starting to take its toll so can you put me down for £15.00 this week

    Have spent:
    £6.20 on the train
    £5.67 in Ikea (needed hangers and a plate - and got a tiny orange moose!)
    £1 on a notebook (just in case, will now be my poetry/writing book)

    So...have spent....£12.87 leaving me £23.13 for the week. That's do-able.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    I am very proud of myself... I have just been to Chelmsford with my friend who spends lots of money, and I didn't spend a single penny!! I did however just treat myself to a back and shoulder massage but that was birthday money. Doing well!!

    NSD for me yesterday as the only spend was groceries. Hopefully another one today, although I'm going to Florence and the Machine tonight and may be tempted by the merchandise :D

    Evening budgeteers,

    I have done all the admin so we should now be up to date, let me know if I have missed anything.

    A big welcome to elfen, NGlady and sadsadjenjen.

    Sadsadjenjen sorry to hear about your family death, we are glad to have you back:D

    Well updates for me, it has all gone pete tong this week. I went bank holiday boozing after work (finished at 3.30pm) on Monday that was not a good plan, then I managed to get a much reduced ticket to see Peter Pan last night which was quite good. So far spends are in the region of £35 so I am red already. Also I have been shocking at taking lunch with me:o oh well I will keep plodding along and fingers crossed for a better week next week.
