nah I set a budget and I'm going to stick to it. I've put three pound in my purse (didn't have the right change, but I'll take out the 46p once i get change) and if i spend it all on crisps tomorrow then I'm stuffed! I have enough food to do me so I don't need to buy anything!

cheers anyway tho hun x

Well as payday happens mid week it is going to be an expensive one in terms of money spent, but for this challenge I should be able to keep it low again. I will be buying food, petrol and slimming club fees (buy 10 get two free) but that all comes from other budgets. So I will go for £15 again this week for moozies challenge. Last week I only spent £8.25 of my £15 budget, so it can be done!
Have a good week everyone!

Hi Looking Ahead and gang.

My budget was £35 and this week I spent £34, this includes yesterdays spending. :T

I haven't done any shopping, as I am trying to reduce the amount of stuff in these cupboards and freezer, so I will have to up the budget a bit, to milk and veg.

This week, my budget is £45.

Good luck everyone.

Last week my budget was £40 and I failed miserably spending almost £80......

This week I'm going to spend £40, but that doesn't include the £8 I spent on lunch today, as that was planned and budgeted. I found the budgeting much harder than I was expecting, and couldn't believe how much i spent on unnecessary stuff.

ps..... how do you make your signatures appear in different colours/sizes???

Ahhh going away for one night this week so will need to buy food (even dieting I still ought to have something I suppose) but am staying with friends so no hotel bill- Ha this MSE things is begining to click:A

So my non budgeted spends will be £25.00 this week (I hope wouldn't do to fail in my first week:o )

Today I have spent nothing :j

This week i have spent £40 on a tank of petrol which *should* last me till I get paid on Wednesday!

I was going to out for tea tonight with my boyfriend (his treat) but we arent talking at the minute so looks like it might be soup out the cupboard for me tonight

spent this weekend: 0. I'm in bed with tonsillitis so hardly too surprising!

Last week spent £4.91 out of £5 budget on 'spends'. Everything else like cat to vet for jabs and petrol / food comes out of different bugets.

dh's spends were meant to be £5 too but they went up to £30 as he left work and went out to celebrate. First he's gone out in 3 months so don't hate him for it. We're now self employed. How scarey is that. Our debt is 90% business but it still worries me and needs working on to be as clever as possible.
