Good morning DFWs 
It's been all systems go at the Moo household this morning! Roast dinner is on as well as a chocolate cake for afters and some lentil and bacon soup for the freezer! Mrs Beeton eat your heart out :rotfl:
Well, it's time for the weekly challenge again
I think I'll stick to the £20 as that seems to give me enough to spend on my daily necessities as well as the occasional treat. Also, I may go out for lunch with a friend this week so that should be covered with the £20.
Today will be a non spender! There is just no time to spend money :A After dinner and clearing up, I will start making my Christmas cards so it will be a relaxing 'me time' afternoon!
Here's the list from last week. Hope I've not missed anyone out
Anyone reading, feel free to join in

Well tecnically was under budget by 30p but then had a complete blow out yesterday when I spent over £100 and confess I did save that up and do it all yesterday so I would be under my budget suppose I was cheating but was all essential spending.......apart from the fresh cream scones mmmm!
This week Im giving myself £5, im on my days off but just going to do the rounds visiting friends and not going out anywhere. Im fully stocked up in the freezer so will probably just get away with just getting some milk and cat food and the car was filled up with petrol yesterday so cant think of anything I might need (and promise not to go mad next saturday

All spending last week was essential, except bought 2 tops and 1 pair of trousers which I couldn't really justify! Felt terrible guilt, so will return the trousers and 1 top next week (have worn the other top).
Hope to spend nothing today unless need petrol.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Hi to you all!
I did quite well last week. I set myself a limit of £25 coz i had a bus ticket to buy costing £14, which left me £11 for the rest of the week. I only spent £6.04 out of this,:T so i thought this week I will try and cut it down to £20. I may have to buy another bus ticket later this week, just depends on how many days i end up working! :rolleyes:
So, my new challenge for this week is £20.00.:eek:
Good luck to everyone else:DExperience is the toughest teacher because she gives the test first then the lesson

I have a limit of £20.00 this week - to Friday, including tobacco.
My wife did the Tesco run today and spent £23.00 - I did not include this in my target as we should have gone yesterday.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
