Good morning DFWs!!! :D

Monday is a new start and I really hope we are all ready for it! I can't wait for the weekend already but that's a little detail :rotfl:

I will be spending £8 today to tame those wild eyebrows :rolleyes: Nothing else as lunch and dinner are sorted and I want to succeed in this week's challenge more than anything right now! :p

Have a great day everyone, be honest and keep it low ;)

    morning Moozie!

    I have decided to join your challenge this week and I AM going to win :D

    I have £10 "misc" money per week for lunches, the odd glass of wine, birthday cards, stamps etc. I am going to spend £2 on lunch today (thought I had a work lunch but it's wednesday- doh!) not a good start.
    Saving for an early retirement!

    Morning :D
    I'm setting a budget of £35 this week. It was going to be £30 which would've been generous, but then I remembered I have a hair appointment on Saturday, so upped my budget to account for it. £35 will probably be a bit tight now. (I'm not including bills, groceries or petrol as our joint finances pay for that and they're not *too* bad)

    Spent £5.70 yesterday on a takeaway (went halves with DH; our last one until he gets a job!)
    Going for an NSD today as I don't need to leave the house.
    Bank loan - [STRIKE]£9949.52 [/STRIKE]/ £8705.83 * Loan from DH - [STRIKE]£600[/STRIKE]/ £350 * Overdraft - [STRIKE]£0[/STRIKE] £648.47
    Total debt at LBM (09 2006) - £10,549.52 Total debt on 14 Mar 2007 - £9704.30 - 8.1% Paid off
    This week's budget - £20 Spend so far - £32.50
    March's target - keep overdraft below £600 - failed :(
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Hi Moozie,

    I will try to post my daily spending, but I think I'm going to have to ask not to be included in the weekly challenge, as I am going to have some unavoidable expense this week - trip to High Court in London:eek: for BR on Thursday. Might need a little bit of retail/alcoholic therapy on Friday.:beer:

    Can't even contemplate setting a budget today. Forgot my lunch, but will try to keep today's spending under £2.....
    Overpay!
