RED! RED, RED, RED!!!

Well done to all the Greens in the room! Congratulations.

I'm including the full week including Saturday. So far £60.13/£30 and need to buy couple of tiny things today. :-( Maybe £30 was just unrealistic.

Can I pledge a more realistic £50 for next week please? I'm having a party on the Saturday night so might need to buy some stuff for that. I also need to buy a suit and some shoes etc. for a wedding in two weeks but I'm not going to include that as its a one of cost, not day to day living.

I'm purple for the week :j, money has been spent but all budgeted for elsewhere so not included for this challenge

Next week I'm going to pledge £10

Thanks pointy for running the challenge & everybody for all your support.

I need to workout & update my GC total as well as my NSD's.

lilylass I wouldn't count the cashback until I actually spend it.

I am so far past red I can't even see it anymore. But I found out I am getting some extra cash as a bonus from work and it much more than I expected (my expectation was zero!) so I had a night out with some friends last night to celebrate.

Anyway back on the spending and diet wagon on Monday:p

That's great Pointy - a little celebration does us all good now & then and I think helps motivate us to keep going!


Can I pledge £45 for next week again!
Thanks

Good morning everyone!

Just a flying visit from me today, to report that I'm green this week with a spend of £48 - woohoo!

I'll be back either today or tomorrow morning once I've worked out my new pledge - have a relaxing Sunday everyone!

Natsing - happy belated birthday I hope you had fun. How do you feel about turning 30? I have mine in 1.5 years and I am not sure how I feel.

Hi Pointy, thanks for the birthday wishes, was dreading turning 30, it was like admitting getting old, however the day was lovely, and its not like I've changed at all in a day! But its eye opening, I know I'll be debt free this year, and its taken two years to fix, and I wish I'd started earlier so we could do the house up and generally get started on a family, but we'll get there- I'm not going to get any older now though- 30 forever

Spent £3 this week, mostly on WW bits as I've rejoined.
Please put me down for £5 this week
