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.

Didn't do this last week and I'm only thinking about it now because I've woken up in a panic half a dozen times overnight and I'm up early anyway!

Turned out the purse to see what I've got left till payday (Thursday) and found:

£6 in cash
£10 winning Lotto ticket (third time I've won in just over a month :j )
£10 Boots pigsback voucher

So that's £16 in cash (or will be later on this morning) and a £10 voucher.

The voucher was supposed to go on PAYG credit but having MSE-ing-ly switched plans to the one where I get 3p text messages (as opposed to 10p ones), the couple of quid I have left on my phone will do (I tend not to use my mobile for phone calls). Let's see if I can hold onto my voucher and NOT SPEND it at all!

[STRIKE]Xmas[/STRIKE] Bah! Humbug! drinks out with college tomorrow night (should keep it cheap as it will be after six hours of lectures and I doubt that many will be standing after one shandy).

That's the budget - all I need is a few apples and the odd newspaper.

Do-able?

Overspent last week by about £15

This week I have a couple more presents to buy so will set my budget at £35.

Need to keep my spending right down as overspent on holiday and got car service and tax due imminently

Tried this challenge for the first time last week - budget was £20 spent £16.92 :j. Am going to stick to £20 for this week too. Includes all extra spends (ie not bills, food, car).
