    Afternoonnnnn..

    I hope you are all well.
    Did anyone see the eclipse last night? All I saw was rain rain and more rain :rotfl:
    Today is not a NSD for me :( It is the bloomin bug magazine day, things we do for our little bundles of joy eh lolol.
    But, I could almost make it a NSD as I returned some unused wallpaper board to Homebase and got £8.00 back lol every little helps!

    I am deducting the £8.00 from todays spending :rotfl:.

    TOTAL £ 15.00 - 8.00 = £7.00 :)

    No more spending today :j

    Have a fab day everyone x

    Well, I'm having a particularly rubbish week, now £25.65 over my pledge :eek:
    Mostly because I randomly decided Thursday was the day to do my shop instead of on the weekend which would have fallen into next week... it made sense at the time! :p
    Hope everyone else is doing better than me, you all certainly seem to be!
    Enjoy the rest of your friday

    Todays total: 13.00 grrrrrrrrr :mad:

    I am so close lolol

    only 1 day to go now.. we can do it.

    I only have 50.00 to get me going for the next two weeks but our fridge and freezers are kinda packed, so I shouldnt need much... shouldnt, I said lol never works like that.

    Thanks L ;)

    I'm declaring a big fat red as well this week - £55.65/£30 spent :eek:
    Rest of the month will be a bit of a challenge, I essentially have £7.25 left for the whole month (I get paid last working day each month so 12 days to go before I have money in my pots again!) - however my fridge and cupboards are stocked - will need milk and maybe bananas/apples but should be fine... oo er! Have petrol money put aside separately as that's an essential for me... also have my pound a day put aside separately next to my pig for the 365 challenge, so that I can physically put in a pound a day.
    If things got desperate I could raid the pig I suppose but he would make me feel so guilty! :rotfl: So that's only a last resort!
    Ho hum!

    Night all, well done xx

    Afternoon all,

    I am declaring green as I had £4 left in my purse when I got home last night so total is £26 / £30 for me.

    For the reds, don't stress too much I am sure next week will be better. It is payday for me on Friday and it seems like this as been the longest month ever.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone.

    Well done PP! It's dragging for me too, partly because I've had a couple of extra unexpected costs this month and partly because I'm excited to get to next month to try out my new budget! (yet another one!)

    I'm pledging £10 for next week please. However I actually hope not to spend more than £3 :rotfl:

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone
