    This week I have spent £41.41. Which was £20 for the cleaner, £2 subs for band rehearsal and £19.41 on groceries.

    BUT, I sold a ticket to a comedy show for £21 and had a refund from Scottish Power of £79.63 which makes £100.63.

    So I'm actually £59.22 up on the week!!! -£59.22 spent against £50 target.:money::j

    Does that make me purple then?? :D:T

    I managed to just spend over, spent £4 in the chippy for dinner and then had to buy a headlight bulb for my car which i was not expecting which was £10, so in total iv spent £16 when i was aiming for £15, so close.

    Wow cashback queen - what a great result!

    Well done Andy for completing your first week - you are a lot closer than me!

    I haven't spent anymore since thursday thank goodness. Will have to reduce next weeks budget to do damage limitation. I want to spend next week knitting and sewing not spending!
