  • Hi everyone

    Thanx for starting this thread in Moozie's absence, have been looking for it all morning. This week I will have £10.00 to spend. Today I spent £22.22 on lunch and £ 8.00 on a cab to get home. I allocated £ 30.00 for lunch and getting home and spent £0.22 over that so I'm not to worried about that. Hopefully this week will go well. Thanx and good luck to everyone.

  • Hi, after bad start first week had better one this week. My budget was £20 and only spent £20 but i don't include food or fuel in that. It did include a £13.50 spend in monsoon sale but i did get my nieces christmas pressie :eek: at £6 instead of £20 odd :T and decided wont do what i normally do which is still make it up to the amount i normally spend - will count it at full price and that will prob be it - is that mean or money saving :confused:

    mrs sparkle how exciting - you did really well to work so late good luck with everything

    i am setting a budget of £15 this week as nothing going on

    Budget - £15 not including petrol, Spent - £14.65 :j :D

    This week I know I'll spend: <£5 on the cinema (orange wednesday!), £1.50 on posting my work contract back to america (:j) and some bits and bobs (like shower gel!) so I'll make it a challenging £10 this week (again not including petrol) and see how I go!

    This week will be quite expensive too but at least I'm thinking ahead and gonna plan my budget around it. So, I'll say £90 *fingers crossed*

    Hi all

    NSD for me today yipeee

    Set budget at £20 and spent £19.34 but did spend a lot out of other budgets so I think this week is more of a challenge for me.

    So going for £20 again (doesnt include groceries)

    Good luck all

    Hi:wave:

    I spent £5 in Aldi today on bread, milk and bits and bobs.
    I stocked up quite a bit last week and haven't got transport this week so I'm going to try to cope without buying much at all this week ( I'm not keen on carrying lots of shopping because I've got a bad knee.

    I've started alowing myself £50 per week but I'm going to try not to spend it this week (only cash and in a seperate purse so I can't cheat)

    Have a good week everyone
