Good evening.

I have come in under - just - £9.18.
My budget was £10 so am really pleased. This has really helped me this week. PP - please put me down as under budget. Will think of my budget for next week.

Good Morning...

Well my week looked like this.....

Sunday - NSD
Monday - NSD
Tuesday - £3.88 (posting ebay parcels)
Wednesday - NSD (for this challenge)
Thursday - NSD
Friday - NSD

So £3.88 for the week :T

I have lots to do today as it's Saturday (and we don't count Saturday's .... right???) but NO unplanned spending .

Will have to think about next weeks budget as I am off work and the kids are off school for part of the week. Might be a spendy one :eek:

Morning all

Confession to make. I didn't really keep track of my spending this week but as I spent £36 in Asda yesterday + odds and sods over the week then I've blown my budget. I'm declaring red:o

Morning all!

Had my xmas meal out last night and pleased to say came under budget. Meal already paid for, but drinks cheaper than expected so declaring an underspend this week.
:T

Will be setting target for next week at a lower rate of £35.

Well two NSD's in the bag for Sunday and Monday so the week is starting well, also have a total of £9.95 to add from ISA interest and the closure of my S*n B*ngo account after they stopped people playing the free game for well free really!

Sooooo currently clocking in on £39.95/£30

Tuesday ~ needed to buy a bottle of wine for a friends birthday, this would normally come out of the present budget but sadly it is bare until payday so am classing it as a spend so £5.49 to take off so now on £34.46/£30

Wednesday NSD ~ yippee

Thursday NSD for purpose of challenge (2 christmas presents bought out of budget)

Friday :eek: :eek: £30 on meal and drinks for friends birthday ~ I am soooo :money: nowadays, that spending that amount of money physically pains me, whereas once it would have been a 3 - 4 day a week occurance!

£25.34/£30

Am going to start counting Saturdays in my challenge I think ~ am a shift worker as is OH so we don't have 'weekends' as such just random days off together sometimes, so not counting Saturdays don't really work for me as my 'Saturday' could be a Tuesday for example. Am going to bite the bullet and run my challenge over 7 days which I think will give me a better incentive to keep my eye on the ball

Afternoon all

New thread started here

Hello everyone,

sorry I've not been around much - have worked late (for free) every night this week and still not able to keep up with the workload...sucks. Especially when everyone else is getting paid overtime and they say I don't need it. My friends say I'm heading for a breakdown. I'm not too happy at the moment!!!

Anyway, from my spends budget I did only spend my £21, however I spent a lot more this week, but it all came from my surplus pot (where I put any leftovers from weekly budgets for food, petrol, spends etc), so I will declare an unknown red because I was very spendy indeed really. Also I've been smoking all week which doesn't help. I blame stress. Whatever.

Over to the new thread, thanks pointy for being on the ball, sorry I didn't get the lists updated for you in time!
