    I spent £5 or so on some organic eggs, flour, butter and lemons to make lemon muffins. Which were great by the way, and well worth the effort. Oh yeah, and an Observer, cos it's Suuuhuuuuunday.

  • Hi my first week was not within my budget - i said £25 but actually spent £28.98. but that did include 3 parcels that i had forgotten about (1 to america) and a night out that i didn't really want to cancel as has been a long time. I did say no to another night out so was pleased about that!!:j

    I have already spent £13.99 today in monsoon as they have a 70% off sale so did a bit of spending for birthdays and next christmas :eek: but i won't spend what i normally do am counting it as full price.

    so this week having already spent that i will still try for £20 as not much going on this week.

    Its been a no spend day for me today, but I wont enter the challenge for this week cause I know that I am going to go well over due to a funeral that I am attending tommorrow, I have been asked to get a few bits and pieces and obviously I will not ask for the money back but it will mean I will be waqy over my £15 budget. Roll along pay day..............
  • Hi everyone,

    Well my budget last week was £44.35 and I spent £38.72. I spent more than I wanted and more than I thought I had, but at least now I can see where it went.

    This week I had £42.30 for everything, I spent £19.56 on groceries and £2.00 on a Big Issue. So my challenge budget for this week is £20.94.

    My friend is coming to stay for the weekend, so I'm treating myself to going out money from my 'clothes and treats' account for that.

    Good luck everyone. :T

    Hi

    Have been reporting my daily spends on the thread since Wednesday so now feel brave to join in with a budget. Am going to set myself £20 which is for anything that I spend apart from grocery shopping. So any snacks, meals, miscellaneous spends that are not part of a grocery shop (tend to do big shop on friday and then a top up on Tuesday for fresh fruit, milk and bread) will come out of this allowance.

    Forgot to say today was a NSD for me wooo hooo

    Hello

    I've not done any spending today - but I'd like to join the challenge if I may. I'll set my budget for the week at a tight but possible £25 please.

    Good luck everyone
