Evening all

I second the packed lunch, it is cheaper, tastier and healthier.

Thanks to mine today was a NSD. I've not had one in a while.

I will update the first post tmw but welcome to the newbies let us know how you get on.

Hi,
Iv just joined the forum cos i thought it would help with some motivation to pay off my overdraft,

I thought this challenge would be a good place to start,
Put me down for £15 this week please.

Only spent £2 on lunch today so far.

That's exactly why I am here too Andy. Good luck - I have found this challenge very very helpful

NSD yesterday for me, and hopefully today as I'm stuck at work. Might be a horribly long day too....

Just remembered I need to buy a new work bag as my dinner went all over the inside of mine yesterday, and soaked through. Yuk. Can I please change my budget to £20? That is probably cheating, but it's not my fault!

I've actually unspent money today! I sold a spare ticket for a show for £21!!

I have had a mixed few days. Car had to go to the garage as it was making a horrible noise but turns out I had caught it before it made too much damage and it cost £40 but could have been a lot worse. But that comes out of a different budget.

I made 60p profit on ebay after fees from ebay and paypal but I have another item that I think is going to be better selling at the mo.

We got weak and bought a chippy dinner last night after cycling home from work and then going to the garage to pick up the car. So that cost £1.75 for my half

I posted a parcel for £2.38 - most of these parcels are bookmooch - does anyone else use this website?

And today I spent £2.28 on sublime stitching buying some patterns to make Christmas gifts with.

Off to update my signature - hope everyone is having a good week.

Im working on the packed lunch thing,
Normally get bored of it by the end of the week, will see how it goes.
But havnt spent anymore this week due to the fact that im living at home at the moment and can scavenge food for packed lunch off the parents.
