May I join in?
I really need to minimise my "incidental" spends a bit, I try desperately to go away from something to think about it before buying, but its hard!
I'd like to set my target at £40 from Sunday to Friday.

So far I've spent £3.50 (Avon delivery)

Evening all

Just catching up now. I am only counting until Thursday this weeks as I am off Friday and heading to London for the weekend for my birthday. No spends so far but I have to get lunch tomorrow. Nothing planned this week until Thursday so hopefully shouldn't be too hard.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Hi sibles welcome to the thread! I've updated the first post with your pledge, you are more than welcome here! Please feel free to post as you go through the week, I do as I find it helps but others prefer not to.

Hi pp, how lovely, a weekend away! You lucky thing! Do you have a nice meal or something planned for your birthday itself or are you celebrating all weekend!?! Have a lovely time either way and happy birthday if I forget to say later in the week!

Thanks for the warm welcome elsie!

I was so sure I was goingto have a NSD today, and then I remembered that I was meant to be having coffee with a dear friend. But i'll keep it low. May even have some on my starbucks card.
I'm also trying to think of something cheap I can do if my friend who is visiting this weekend wants to go out saturday night! I don't tend to do going out andwas kind of planning on a girly catch up over a bottle of wine. Fingers crossed.

Hi guys

£7.50 spend for me yesterday - drink for me and a friend.

Stupid thing to do, I REALLY needed that money.

But work is horrible, so one could argue I REALLY needed that drink.

Ho hum.

Total of £18.95 + £7.50 = £26.45/£35

Good morning everyone! :wave:

No spends for me this week just yet; however, my long overdue food shop will be taking place today, but I should be able to keep easily within budget.

Have a great birthday weekend away Pointy! :bdaycake:

And welcome to the tread sibles!

Have a good day everyone!

you guys are so lovely!!

So yesterday my spend was 70p on some ribbon (for a friend, but its for my hat!)
Today I have stocked up my drawer of drinks etc and bought nailbrushes (£2) and will be having a coffee with the girlies (£3 max). I also have a driving lesson but that is budgetted for, so I don't count it... is that the right way to do it?

Total spend so far this week £6.50
