Hi all,

I'd like to partake in this challenge and set my limit to £20, my debt is now under 10k it was 21k four years ago. Plus my OH and I are talking about moving, so it;'s; a double edged sword.

Yesterday I'm pleased to report was a nsd. Hopefully this will help me think twice about buying a magazine at lunctime!

Oh my, I just had it in my head that it was thursday so the week was nearly over and the thread had been very quiet!! Hmmm well I'm red anyway, spend £23 or so last night on drinks and took my mentee to the cinema which cost £14.90 including a drink!! I'll get it back, but not for a couple of weeks. Hmmm, no more spending this week!!

Evening all
Spent £3 today on work collections, going to WW tomorrow to buy a few bits there, but will have at least two NSDs this week.

I really wish it was Thursday but it is not even Wednesday yet

Oh well the theatre tonight was great and I spent £17 on dinner which isn't too bad. It is going to be tight this week but who knows what can happen.;)

Welcome littlemisschocolate I have added you to the list. Well done on reducing your debt so far, keep us updated on how you get on over the week.

Hi all

Quick update:

Tuesday I spend £1.25 on a drink and some chocolate, yesterday was a NSD and today is looking like a NSD too .

So, I currently have £3.25 to last til tomorrow. Hopefully that will be doable. I usually have lunch out with a mate on a Friday, but looks like that's cancelled for this week...phew!

Hi everyone

So far so good, spent £1.05 on ice lollies for my wee boy on Tuesday - both Wednesday and Thursday were NSD's

Looked in the fridge this morning tho, and nothing for my lunch!! So I'll have to buy sandwiches for my lunch but still hoping for a green week

Hi All

Doing ok for my first week of this challenge, only £2.99 spent so far ..but... tonight is always a bad night. It's take away night and then I usually get a wee call to ask me to bring wine and snacks while I'm out. Will see what happens.

Thanks

Hi all, well i had some unexpected spends , good job i put down £20.

Ended up taking DS1 to get a joke book for the talent show.
So my list so far:-
3 books for £5.99
busfares for me and 2 boys £5.00 ( i normally walk but i knew i wouldn't be able to get there on my crutches)
pasties (DS1 & 2) £1.85
Wilko's - £2.56 - pack lunch/ food for tea

So in total i have spent a whopping £15.40 :eek:, i am not impressed but that life. So i have £4.60 left for the school fare today.

Still within budget so its all good :T
