    hi Moozie & all, hope everyone is having a wonderful day. My budget for this week was £50 and I've spent £71.42 :rotfl: :rotfl:, how crap is that ... maybe we should have a wooden spoon award for most overspent each week Moozie? well if there was one I'd win. This week, I will set a budget of £35, including petrol & food... it's high because I might be going out twice this week with friends but hopefully both occasions will be cheap. Today I don't expect to spend anything much, in fact if all goes well a no-spender, I certainly need one!!!

    Hello everyone

    I spent £60.... did go over budget although it's been a busy week this week.

    I'd like to set my weekly target for £40, that should see me through until Friday.

    Also today should be a NSD for me, trying to give up the cigarettes and i've gone two days without buying any :j

    ps moozie - glad you like the hat!!! it took ages actually! I did it when I was supposed to be doing something else much more virtuous. & of course I don't mind you using the explanation - am pleased that you think it might help!!!

    ps postingalwaysposting - if I put the cursor on that scrolling button thingie that sits at the side of the webpage, and hold the cursor there, it makes your little penguin avatar freeze wherever it is and stop going round and round. Every time I see it I can't resist doing that a couple of times, it's fun you know, in a small, mindless sort of a way, so I should probably thank you for brightening up my day

    Hopelessly over budget last week - £25.55!!

    No forgotten birthdays this week (I don't think!) but out for food at Wacky Warehouse on Thursday so I would imagine I need a £20 budget this week.

    Off today to buy Santa presents for my class but schoool has funded that so hopefully won't spend over that. Any ideas where I can buy decent cars for £1.50 as that is what most of my class are hoping for?
    woolworths were doing some deals on cars not long ago it was 3 for 99p I think-is that what you meant? or did you mean £1.50each or lots of cars?!

    I came in under target, yippee!!!

    This week, right, have budget for xmas presents, and my alternative therapy session on Wednesday :) only £6 instead of £20 have a lot on this week, parties, school performance, school fayre etc so will try to do £40, £45 was hard last week but worked, so challenging myself.

    Today I spent nothing :) went to the quad track but forgot was DPs brothers turn to pay so didn't cost me anything. Took coffee, food etc with me so didn't spend on that either and came home early as little DS was too cold. So sat here in my PJs (no point getting more clothes dirty) and not going out for the rest of the day/evening. I have all the muddy clothes to wash so may aswell do that tonight.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
