    The best laid plan etc... I am already red on day 1 @ £30.75

    Ok I won't change budget. I will work out the overspent and reduce the budget in the following weeks.

    I use this challenge to stop me buying bits etc.. during the week

  • Hi all

    I think its time that joined in. Will be another incentive to keep an eye on my spending. Could you put me down for £30 this week please. Good luck everyone.

  • Welcome Rock_cakes I have added you to the list let us know how you get on over the week.

    No spends to report me so far this week. So on target for green and no pans for going out so far so hopefully it won't be too hard.
    Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30


  • OK I few things to declare:

    £1 on a de-humidifier in @sda (hopefully it will stop me getting condensation/ice inside the car!)
    £8.15 on dry cleaning
    £4 on petrol (amount over my budgeted amount, possibly should re-assess that)
    £4 on lunch, as stayed with my parents yesterday so no packed lunch.

    £17.15 total so far

    Well done to all the NSD-ers and hold tight to those sliding down the slope with me!

  • Last week was YELLOW with a refund of £2.99 and spent £1.50 in a charity shop, profit £1.49.

    This week I would like to pledge to spend no more than £10

    Will be having quite a few store cupboard meals so fingers crossed the £9.95 will last until Friday.

  • OK found my receipt for the petrol and I over estimated, so my real total is £16.32

    Was hoping for a NSD today, but looks like I may have to go buy milk later. We'll see.

  • Evening all

    Work has been hectic today. Only spends were £3 in canteen for breakfast and coffee.
    Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30


  • Bit of a mix up yesterday, I was supposed to go out for lunch yesterday but the time the person had reminded me I had eaten my homemade lunch . . . . woops! :o

    Due to the mix up I spent just 95p on a few veggies. Don't foresee any more spending this week. Hoping I make it to the end of the week on £9.
