  • Ok, I don't really know how much I've spent but I haven't 'borrowed' any money from anywhere so I must be on track for a green week.

    Been playing with my snowball and updated it, I have a huge incentive to stick to my small budget as I can hopefully be debt free by the end of next year... just need to stop wasting cash (as i keep repeating every single week i do this!!)

    For a minute there I was thinking you meant a real snowball. I got a bit confused!

    Well done on all the greens peeps. I am green too! I spent today at the allotment so a free day out. 50p left - what do you all do with the leftovers - put it in a money box?

    I don't ever have leftovers... but my plan is to put them all in a change pot to put towards debt....

    :rotfl: summer might have gone but it's not that cold yet!
  • Hello everyone,

    First time I've tracked what I spend in a week and I'm well and truly in the red. Challenge was £80 but I've spent £123.22 - mostly on food for my teenage boys:eek:. PP please put me down for £80 again this week - I need to cut the food budget down and given I've got a garden full of vegetables it is achievable - I just can't stop squirreling away food in the cupboards (just in case) - I've got enough in the cupbards and chest freezer to last 'till the boys leave home:).

    Hope most of you did better than me.
    Debt to pay off £22,350:eek:

    DFW 204 - Started off £53,670 in debt LBM 2006

    I will be in credit one day - one payment at a time
