Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 7th Aug 2011

jo-urney

So i spent my £3.50 on tots tennis as planned with my son - and thats all
i did go to tesco and spend a few quid but that was from the grocery budget this time so no effect on my weekly spending amount.

total so far is now £22.41 / £30.00

haven't got much planned for today, but may possible take my boy to the soft play centre which will be £2.50 in total for both of us to go in. i normally take my own drinks and snacks there so i dont have to spend anymore on top (although you arent meant to do this - but ive never been told off (yet!) heheh)

shezam - i tend to agree as the weekend is when im doing family things with my partner so undoubtedly we spend a bit extra to do family stuff. luckily, we share the cost though so its not all bad don't think i'll have much left for saturday from my budget this week but i have an ebay auction ending on sunday which will more than cover what ive spent this week i think!

have a good friday everyone!

Yip, I can do so well Mon-Fri, then Fri night after work everyones going out for drinks, or doing things on Sat/Sun and I end up spending a bomb. Hopefully not this weekend though, like I said don't have anything planned apart from maybe some drinks in the house tonight, will maybe try and get some Zumba sessions in aswell, that will keep me occupied!

well so much for just spending £2.50 today lol. my budget for the week has been blown out of the water lol!!!

got in my car a while ago and saw i had no petrol left (step daughter borrowed the car last night to pick up step son from air cadets!) so £20 spent at the filling station.
then i remembered it is my mother in laws birthday today and she is always very generous towards my son, so thought i had better get her something from him, and a card - £10 spent.
and i forgot i had to go to the post office to send 2 x 'signed for' letters, totalling £2.73.

nothing is ever simple is it lol. well, lets hope my ebay auction can cover the extra £32.73 i have spent this morning lol! its bid up to £23.00 at the moment and finishes on sunday afternoon so i have everything crossed

I need to keep an update on here just now of my spending as I don't have a notebook, will purchase one soon!

So my new total is: £14.25/£40

Its rapidly running up!

Morning all

I'm up early as I'm heading to airport this morning to pick up my sis. Which means my budget might creap up over the next few days.

Spends this week

08/08 - £5.56 (circuits n groceries)
10/08 - £4.52 (circuits n sweets for nephew)
12/08 - £20 (so needed a haircut) + £14 present for other nephew + £8.99 (pizza & wine:o)

Budget blown - £53.07.

In my defense the haircut was a necessity it was getting bad. Next week I think that I'm not going to include my circuits classes in my budget as they are now a regular thing and it's the odds and sods above this that keep sneaking into the budget. I'll wait and see what plans my sis has for her visit before I declare my budget.

I'm taking her to boot camp tomorrow - i wonder if this site has an evil sister icon:D
Have a good week everone.

Happy Saturday!

More spends last night, bringing my new total to £22.25/£40.00

Only got £17,75 left in the purse but hoping for a NSD today & tomorrow, if not a NSD day tomorrow defo a LSD, hoping to come under budget this month for sure!

Just been looking at spends this week and I've failed miserably - I couldn't even tell you how much I've gone over, how ridiculous!!! Need to nip this in the bud!!!

Well done to everyone for doing well, I think overall it's been a good week for people (with the odd exception of course..:o)

Assume I'm starting the new thread pp? I'll do it tonight if so as I'm now having to work tomorrow. Get a lieu day for it which semi-defeats the point but hey ho! Rather have overtime but they won't pay it. So that's starting at 10 so I'll have to leave just before 9 as the boss who will be there has said she'll buy us all Starbucks to say thanks for coming in - translate as me getting Starbucks for 6 of us on the way in (no mean feat!) and she'll pay me back!!! I don't mind...free Bucks, mmmmmmmmmm :D:D

Just having a think about what's on next week and what (little) money I have left, trying to work out my budget...back soon!
