Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 16th January 2011

Not going too bad so far....

The £35 petrol budget has gone - gave in today as would've needed to get by the end of the week, however, only spent £31 (my fuel tank's teeeeeennnnny - the pump was sitting at £98 when I got there so really felt for the person who'd been before me)!

The £45 everything else budget .....

Sunday £1 News of the World (to get the make up kit voucher)
Monday NSD
Tuesday £29 Dress & Co-op £9.19
Weds £-29 - Dress returned! (tried on again at home last night & decided I didn't really need it!) and 40p for some chewing gum

So, £10.59 so far.....

It's going to be green.........(I think)

How do I count cashback - I took £20 out at Co-op yesterday but obviously haven't spent it yet. Was just going to add in as I spend but not sure if this is right?

Hope everyone's having a good week...

Had to spend £3.95 over the last two days so total spend up to £10.36 so far this week.

!!!!!!! Forgot to cancel my Spotify Premium membership so £9.99 out of my account today.

Looks like I'm going to fall at the first hurdle and not stick to my first Weekly Spend Challenge. £2.72 to last me until end of Sat, and I have cinema plans tonight.

Lesson of the day - keep track of any services you sign up to which have a recurring monthly payment.

I am over. A friend invited me to her hen do and I needed to give £20 deposit. And I had knitting group tonight = £2.50

Total so far: £30.50 out of £10 ! Not going well with the first week back...

Morning all

39.58 spends for me this week so I'm declaring myself green. I think for next week that I'll put myself down for 35 and see how I get on.

Thanks

Hi all

Sheepishly, I have overspent considerably this week. Have not tracked it all either, but probably about 20/10. mmmmmmmm not good.

All down to not planning lunches and meals etc and 3 very late nights with work, and supper and drinks etc. Excuses excuses

Anyway, I did make £98 on ebay this week, but as I do not have accurate information on my spend and it does not feel good to declare I have made money (when I have been spending badly) happy to declare as overspend. This will give me a kick in the wotsit to get myself sorted for next week! Sorry can't remember what colour this makes me!

Would like to pledge £10 for next week pls.

Many thanks Dolly x :mad:

I think I'll declare now as I doubt I'll be spending any money today. I decided not to go into town and DH has bought milk so an NSD for me

So a total spend of £10.36 out of £30 budget so another green week for me!

I think I'll lower the budget to £20 next week and put the other £10 into saving for my next visit to sewing school (usually about £100 on lovely fabrics etc )
