Hi Moozie - pleased to report a no spend day, as promised. My next 'spend' will be on a real espresso coffee, when I arrive in Rome tomorrow. :beer:
Will try to post before I go, and hopefully will be able to connect while I'm away.
Cheers Moozie and all. :beer:

Hi guys

Well my £10 a week challenge is of to an extremely bad start. On Monday I had a really heavy day at work and left really late so had to stop and buy some KFC on the way home, I then got a cab home cause I was absolutely exhausted! In total it cost me £12.00 so I've completely blown this week already. I also spent £1.50 on breakfast at work this morning as I couldn't sleep last night, and landed up having 3 hours sleep as I get up at 04h30 in the mornings to go to work, and I had no inclination to make sandwiches at five this morning. I suppose at least I had £6.00 left over from last week.
In total that cost me £13.50 this week already, and unfortunately I am having drinks with a friend on Saturday, but am hoping to keep them to a minimum.

I'm really annoyed with myself that I managed to blow so much money, but then again, it's not something I do regularly, so suppose it's ok, just dissapointed really, this money saving thing is really getting to me badly, I don't even want to spend money on anything any more! LOL!

Must try harder! :mad:

Rog2 I hope you have a lovely break and come back loaded with goodies!

When are you due back by the way?

In case I don't speak to you before you go, keep it euro-low

Thanks Moozie - To be honest, I haven't yet fixed a return date, as I need to check out the job situation. I expect I'll probably be back in about 10 days, but WILL post - I promise.

And I will keep it Euro-low - you get so much more for your money in Italy. :beer:

Hey liewe heksie

Sorry you had a difficult week so far! The good news is Saturday is not part of the challenge

Do try to do well between now and Friday as I am sure that will make you feel better and more positive. Moneysaving is time consuming more than anything else. A bit of planning goes a long way!

Good luck and chin up!

To pay bills, have money for holidays and treats and also to have something to complain about

I'm certainly getting better at this (compared to me pre-lightbulb)! I'm getting the hang of this! OH kindly made sarnies for dinner and we get free tea, coffee, water and chocolates at work. So saved the £4 I generally waste on a sarnie, crisps and coke (plus I have a bad tooth so no pain either!)

Went to Boots and got some TCP & floss and put it on my advantage card from all the xmas points I built up so it was free! Saved £3.50.

Then went to co-op and resisted everything I didn't need. Got a pizza £2.50, we would have spent £20 at Dominos before and it was nicer from the co-op! Got some salad reduced to 99p which will do us 2 times. Resisted wine, fruit juice, treated myself to value lemonade!!
