Evening all

Welcome to the newbies first post has been updated let me know if I have missed anything. alibob it is up to you what you include I don't include groceries as I have a separate budget for that but other do.

No spends for me today as bought a few bits but they were all out of groceries. I am on the diet wagon again as it is 3 weeks until holiday so I am trying to make a small dent, when it is a short period it seems easier some how.:o

Good morning all, spent £4.53 yesterday on Milk, banana's, bread & bus home. Hoping today is a NSD though as I have told OH to get Macaroni for tonights dinner so I won't have too.

Fingers crossed for NSD's today to help keep me underbudget

My first challenge!!
I reckon sunday to Friday ( I know I'm already a couple of days in but I'll be honest about the days that have already passed and try to get in on the action on time next time) £40.

And if I can manage that it'll be a miracle but if I know I have to write it all down and admit on here if I go over that might just be enough to kick me in to touch

hey, i spent £2.90 and then £2.10 on parking today. i also spent £6.41 in Tesco today on a few bits - i would have normally spent the grocery money on this but the coffers are running a bit low so i used my weekly spend budget.

todays total spend then is: £11.41

Total for the week so far is now £12.71 / £30.00

Hi,

I've spent £9.07 today at sainsburys, hopefully I won't have much time to shop over the next couple of weeks as i'm in work everyday now until the 20th which is good really as I need to find spending money for Leeds festival at the end of the month

This week has completely flown away from me! I'm working for a summer school for three weeks chaperoning children so I'm on call pretty much 24/7 and surrounded by musical theatre kiddies :eek::eek: Now I've got the hang of it I should have time to get organised and put in a pledge next week...
