    First week back and an Epic Fail for Kage!!

    Owing to an impromptu visit to the cinema last night, I'm already over budget by a tenner this week. I have to say it was worth it though, the A-Team was amazing.

    I have a night out on Saturday that I will definitely be driving to now and offering lifts in return for a coke! Oh dear, bad times xxx

    Hi - my final figure was £11.15

    Just shows how much I've overbought in the past.

    Would like to remain at £20 for groceries, for next week, please.

    Hello all, this seems like a great idea. Now single after 10 years so want to get rid of debts. Grocery limit at £20. Hope I make it, spent £4-82 at Morrisons today, cheap bread 30p, milk 50p and other bits. Freezer is full though so a good time to start this I think. £15-18 left til friday.

  • Ah well, it's a red for me this week, boo!

    Bought lunch for me and DD on Friday, total £4.95, which took me £3.55 into the red. It was nice to treat her, but didn't help the budget!

    Will try harder next week. Please put me down for £10 again next week Pointy.

    Thanks

  • Howdy all,

    I ended the week on £35.16, in other words, catastrophically RED! But the cinema was worth it and I can hold my head up with pride that I spent a grand total of £1.40 on going out Saturday night! heheheh

    Anyway, because of last week's overspend I need to reign it in this week. I shall say £14.20, as that is all I have on me!

    Good luck for the coming week Budgeteers! xx
