  • Hi all

    Need to remember what I did this week....hmmm..

    - spent £1.99 on a folder
    - spent £1.95 on an innocent smoothie

    also gave a £1 to OH to buy some chocolate, total = £4.94, which leaves me green by a few pence I think.

    Another £10 next week please Pointy.

    Thanks

  • Sadly I am declaring red this week. Spending was going really well and very controlled.
    However, I had completely forgotten about my cousin's funeral on Thursday which ended up in a fair bit of money spent on booze and then a take away when we got in that night.

    I would like to try for £20 next week.

    Earlier on today I was going to declare myself green but spent 2 quid on pants and that's taken me into red:o So declaring red this week again at 26.26. Put me down for 25 next week and I'll try to stick to it.

    Thanks

    This week was green, £1.70 on a coffee, 50p at an activity day & £2.40 on parking we managed to do a reasonable amount of trips out even though DS has been unwell with a cold etc. Total spend £4.60/£10.

    Pointy please could you put me down for £10 for next week, I have no idea what we are going to do, I best go off and make some plans.

  • I'm declaring Green this week having just about made it.
    The last 14p went into a collection on Thursday for a colleague who's had her bunions removed!

    I went a bit wild at times - two bottles of wine, some yellow stickered steak in Tesco and £5 to another colleague for some pakoras and samosas she made to raise funds for Pakistan.

    I'm going to go for the same next week as I will have to put a tenner in my tank

    Thanks for keeping track PP

    i want to join the weekly spend challenge and will think about my budget. Do I wait for the new thread to be started or do I post my amount for next week here ?

    I found you by finding mention of it in the 100 day challenge forum but I couldn't find you under the Old Style Money saving section ? so googled you instead ? Where in the money saving expert forums are you hiding ? I want to see what other forums might be similar that I would be interested in doing.

    Morning all,

    I was green this week with a £13.96 spend. From my spending diary I can see that it's all gone on snacks and bought lunches though, so that's something I need to work on.

    I'd like to set a budget of £12 for this week so that the last four weeks spending comes to £80 (can you tell I like round numbers, lol).

    Good luck everyone xx
