Weekly Spend Challenge w/c 30th October 2011

pointypenguin

Afternoon all,

I hope you are having a good weekend. I am back from my epic journey up north and have driven for 8.5 hours over the last 48 hours so I am rather tired.

I have managed to sort out the formatting of the first post and updated everything. Let me know if I have missed anything or there are any corrections.

I am going for £50 this week as I have theatre tickets on Tuesday night so not sure if I am going out for dinner or not. Nothing else planned but I imagine work will be hectic this week so we shall see what it brings.

I'll join, making this my first 'challenge' here!

Budget until next Friday: £50. I'm sure I can do that if I put my mind to it

Cheers!

I'm in . This is my first challenge and my budget for the week is £60. This amount is for petrol and the foodshop.

Sunday: nothing
Monday: nothing
Tuesday: nothing (I'm on a roll here!)
Wednesday: £7.00 on things for work at the Range £15.00 on petrol
Thursday: £58 in Sainsbury's (shopping when hungry and emotional is never a good thing)
Friday: £15 at a Firework Display

Total: £95 - £35 over budget. Been an horrible week tbh. Will try better next week.

Hi everyone

Welcome to the new pledgers! :hello:

That is a bit epic pp! Hope you had a nice time... What are you seeing at the theatre on Tuesday?

Frogletina, yes I thought I'd better clarify at the end...was just thinking through everything I have to do this week!! I do ramble on... :silenced:

0530 start for me tomorrow, have to get cash and Starbucks (payday treat) and be in work for 0730 and work is a half hour drive without the stop off... good luck to me ...! Can't bring myself to get up any earlier than half five though... it's still night time, especially now the clocks have changed!!! Ah well, Tue and Wed off for me, so one long day (finish at 8pm) won't hurt!!! :dance:

Sun 30 Oct: NSD
Mon 31 Oct: Planned - cigs, Starbucks (inc. breakfast as I have nothing and the supermarket doesn't open until 8am...you can see the problem!) and £7 owed to friend - total about £20

Good morning everyone! :wave:

Hello and welcome to the newbies!

Thanks for running this week's thread Pointy! :starmod:

I'd like to report that I was green last week with a spend of £85.61 out of my pledged £90! :j

This week I don't have any big spends planned, so I'll pledge a slightly more reasonable £50 please - thank you Pointy!

Have a good week everyone and good luck staying within budget!

Morning all! I was truly terrible last week, so I'm going to have a uber low spend week, at £6. I have no outings planned and already have the food in for the week, so it should be easily manageable.

Hi everyone

Wow, I love pay day! Feel so secure and full of good intentions... see how long that lasts in practice!!!

Spendy day for me - £3.40 to friend, £9.40 Starbucks, Cigs £6.90, Choc bar and banana £1.10 and cigs for tomorrow onwards £6.45. Nothing mental, but it adds up quick! Starbucks was a drink for me, a drink I owed a friend, and breakfast for me as my cupboards were bare...well, for breakfast items anyway, and I did earn extra in this pay slip so it's my treat!

Did my shop for the rest of this week which was also stocking up - slightly under budget so good, got petrol, bought 2 more Christmas presents online, and did wine order. And worked 12.5 hours... not a bad day! Shattered now though :rotfl:

Hope you've all had a lovely day! I now have my second weekend for the week!! Love using up AL at the end of the year!!!

Sun 30 Oct: NSD
Mon 31 Oct: Various £27.25

Total so far £27.25/£40
