Hi folks - thought I would join in this week as I need an extra push to get me to payday on the 31st. If I make it without spending much more money I will have an extra £50 to throw at my debts. It would be very satisfying to be able to pay off extra at the end of Jan! So anyway, I have just filled the car with petrol, bought food and got some cash out. I don't need anything else so I am hoping for a few no spend days. I will make my budget for the week £15.
Good luck everyone!:j

Hi Moozie et al.
Not a bad week here - several NSDs and came in under budget. Am away this week for work which could be cheap if all laid on or expensive if I have to claim it back! Will stick to £40 and see how we go. After next week (pay day) will have proper budgets for all spending so this challenge will revert to being for my personal spends (and I'll have much less!)0 -
Right Moozie
Im going to join in with this, this week. My spend for the week will be £20 groceries and £20 petrol (going away next weekend to the big smoke) and £10 for other bits and bobs so £50 for the week
Here is to some NSD's and getting in under budget!I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
Finally Debt Free...0 -
I haven't done this before, so count me in! I haven't spent anything today, and my target for the week is £30.
