I'm here to declare my first week, and surprise - I've gone over, so I'm red this week. But not by much. Strictly speaking I was under until last night so by end of working day Friday I was green, but then spent £21.90 on my work night out last night (not bad for going out 4x a year).
And I'm awake at silly o'clock with a bit of a hangover...
So my total spend for this week is £61.91/£60
I'm off work next week so goodness knows what my spending will be like - I'm going to set a target of £50

Hi everyone,

I had such a mad week! And it is not over yet, I still have 2 more shifts until I am off. I cant wait!

My total for this week is 93.20, so slightly on the RED.

I would like to pledge £ 110.00 for next week please.

I have got to runnnn but I will be back later to read the thread.

Hope you are all well.

9 sleeps to go.. 9 sleeps to santa.. 9 sleeps until the big fat fella comes down your chimney and brings you presents and drinks your beer.. 9 sleeps to santaaaa :beer:

Morning all, very chilly morning!

Well I completely forgot to set myself up on last week's challenge, and probably just as well as I treated myself to a manicure for the holiday period and various other xmas related spends meant I probably would have gone over budget anyway.

Will start again for tomorrow's challenge and probably set myself £50 for the week.

Have a good day on what's supposed to be the biggest spending day of the year so far!

Gotta read and run chaps am afraid but just want to get this down whilst it's in my headSunday NSD
Monday £92.70 on Christmas presents £5.50 on fruit and veg from greengrocer ~ offsetting by £1 found on the bathroom floor total £97.20/£150

Tuesday £4.50 on more fruit and veg to last for next few days (hopefully :cool:), £1.70 on cards + randomly £1.60 on pack of pins for a Christmas present Also bought 3 more presents but used my B**ts Adv*ntage points so nil cost :T. Also may have 'accidentally' bought a cover for my iPad from P*perchase @ £19.75 ~ total now £123.35/£150. To redeem myself slightly, got paid for a survey so adding £3 to the equation now £120.35/£150

Wednesday NSD ~ yeah :T

Thursday £2.99 on 3 cloves of seed garlic for planting out on the allotment offset by £7.04 from a matched bet that paid out this evening total £116.30/£150

Friday NSD

Saturday ~ £12.17 on groceries + £7 on dog food + 12.74 on beer for birthday party tonight + £3.69 on soap making supplies (if I'm not too hungover tomorrow ) so total of £151.90/£150

That's disappointing ~ thought I might just sneak in under ~ never mind :cool:

I have gone way into the red again this week! Don't even want to think about it to be honest. Will put a proper total in soon when I've worked it out!

Hi all

Back again . I would like to aim for £45 next week as that is all I have in my purse until pay day which makes it easier to aim for.

Hopefully Xmas is sorted and I just need to send my cards tomorrow.

Thanks
