    Last week's budget for me was £25 but I overspent at £30.74 :mad:


    Will set this weeks budget at £30; went shopping today & already spent £10.31, but I have so much tidying to do this week that I shouldn't have time for anymore spending!!

    I want to wear my beautiful wedding dress everyday- it would make shopping so much more fun, I mean, people go shopping in their pyjamas these days.......
    Must STOP spending!!! :)

  • Hi all, I also went over budget, and lost count. It was with the last of the presents.

    This week, I've given myself a budget of £70. This is for a few planned things. Today I spent £19, that was on ten pin bowling and lunch. Day out with my son and friend and her children, whom I havent seen in ages. Have a good week everyone x

    I was under budget this week :j :T

    This week; work party, volunteering, volunteer work party - so bound to be a big one (only once a year isn't it). Aside from that, have zero funds until I get paid Friday.
    Think I'll skip this one and be back in the New Year :) Will still report daily though :)

    Well I did end up spending, but was a charity donation at a memorial for a friend who passed away just over a week ago who had leukemia, didn't know it was on until tonight, so that was towards the care unit he was looked after on, 20 year old is so young, but makes you realise lifes too short, not including that spend in this weeks budget. Donated what I had left from last weeks.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Yesterday spent £102 (1/2 the cost for sons unit - Xmas present)
    £5.99 for Savage Garden Affirmation album (Xmas present)

    Today £10 petrol

    Didn't think I would be getting sons present this week so well over budget, but if I hadn't got it I would have been in budget.

  • Hi Lookingahead!:D

    Thanks for starting the thread - I thought Moozie might have surfaced again from under all those packing boxes by now! :confused:

    I havent logged in all weekend til now - been busy, but havent spent anything at all:T

    Last week i was just under my budget of £20 and hopefully will manage it again this week, BUT there's bound to be something ive forgotten about just before Christmas!

    Good luck to everyone for the week ahead.

    hi lookingahead, thanks for standing in on the Moozie front ... I was over-budget this week as well and in fact lost count on Thurs/Fri by how much as well, it's Xmas but I suppose that's no real excuse. I'm not quite getting this thing working for me really. I'll set a budget this week of £30 for petrol and non-essentials.
