Link to last weeks!
I know it is Christmas week but if anyone is wanting to report back if they met there budget and set a new one for the week, then here we are.
I'll start the ball rolling and Moozie - please feel free to take over/re jig this thread as you so wish hon
I set a budget of £100 but due to illness and a host of other things, I smashed the budget and only spent £25.36 :j :j
This week I will budget £70 for groceries, some more PAYG mobile top up (this should now calm down as Strictly Come Dancing as finished....man alive, Mark Ramprakash has me to thank personally for his win last night
), bus fare and other incidentals.
Good luck everyone!

Kept well within my budget last week, but mostly because the Christmas spending was budgeted for - still have to get fresh bread (hope they've still got some at Tesco) and some more veg. Just going up there now.:eek:
Will try to stay within my £20.00 this week.
A Very MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone in moozie's spending thread - and all other DFW's as well.:snow_laug :xmassign: :snow_laugI am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser.

My target was £30 but I spend slightly over due to unexpected Christmas presents! My budget this week is also £30 - I'm going shopping in the sales, but I'm going to try and be good!Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Oh and that £5 on PAYG top up was also spent...I promptly then bought a monthly Text Extra which reduces text cost to 8p from 12p (50 texts).Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
