I've got about £1.59 left in my purse so green for me! I'm so proud of myself for not buying a dress last weekend that I really wanted, and it was tax-free in the airport, plus I didn't buy a recipe book that was just £6 with free delivery and a free jamie oliver book. Yay! Maybe it's finally sunk in about getting rid of my debt. Hopefully no unplanned spends this week, £45 to alter my dress but fingers crossed that is it.
Well done everyone! Good luck next week to the reds. PP I might not be online again til Weds so can I have £10 this week please... thank you!Became Mrs Scotland 16.01.16Became homeowners 26.02.16

ok, so this is getting a bit ridiculous, not once have I managed to stay within budget since I started this challenge! Went mad yesterday and did a load of Christmas shopping so my aim to stay within £30 this week was blown way out of the water :eek:
Still at least I have made a dent in the Christmas list - I am determined not to put a single thing on to the credit card this year (:rotfl:)
So I have £27 in my purse and this week is going to be the week that I stay in budget (fingers, toes & everything else crossed)
Could some of you guys be at the ready to give me a mahoosive boot up the backside if I start to slide????0 -
