Checking in to report that I've done my sums and will pledge a HUGE £410 for the week! :eek:

I have a lot of things to fork out for this week:
- Food shop.
- Mini-treat in the summer.
- Bathroom shower and taps upgrade (needed and long overdue!).
- Insurance for motorbike.
- Petrol.

I hope to pay for it all today, and not spend a penny more for the rest of the week!

I'm off now to spend the rest of the day on comparison websites to see how low I can get my insurance.

Yay! I managed to keep well below budget and spent just £360.15! :j

Fingers crossed that I don't spend a single penny more for the rest of the week - I'm really busy with work at the mo, so I don't really have time to ... hence I'm up at this ridiculous hour!

Have a good day everyone! Good luck keeping within budget for the rest of the week!

Hello everyone!

NSDs so far for the week, good job too as I've got two birthday presents to fork out for later in the month! Going out for a friend's birthday dinner on Friday, hopefully will get B to put in his half and I'll only spend out about £10. Fingers crossed! Had some good news yesterday, work aren't making me pay out for the NVQ that I started but wont finish as I'm leaving, so that's a weight off my mind!

Yesterday we took the children swimming which cost me nothing as my lovely sister paid, we also had a 3 course pancake feast at hers last night, all in all an enjoyable NSD :money:. Today we have been to 1 of our monthly activity days and all spends had already been budgeted for . Total spend for this week £0 :j

I think i'm up to my £20 on pointless things so will have to try to not spend today and tomorrow!
Maybe next week i'll succeed, am thinking i need to think about it better, decide what counts what doesn't etc.

£3.74 spends for me today, bought all bar one of the greetings cards I need for the rest of the year in that, and may have had a sneaky twix due to feeling low about my work situation at the moment. But hey, it's Thursday and I've still got over £16 so I can't be doing too badly.
