  • Hello all,

    Last week my budget as £25.00 and I spent £28.27 which is not too bad. Today I have already spent £15.00 in the pub and £13.95 on a dominos pizza so will budget £50.00 for this weeks budget.

    I said £7, which was for work £1, Thursday £2.10 and Ortho (but I didn't go) so that's only £3.10 spent :j

    This week, lots of working (overtime :T) so might be a bit of [STRIKE]spending[/STRIKE] investing in buses to get there, so will go for £10

    Spent £337.84, so I am above my set budget. Was my birthday on Monday so I was buying myself something rather nice therefore I knew it wasn't going to be a cheap week.

    Will go back to my normal spending habits and set myself a target of £50 for this week.

    I'm aiming for £10 petrol, £8 for lunch on Tuesday and £6 for Masons on Weds. Round up to a neat £30 incase of incidentals.
    Need to keep it tight this week as I've spent £400 on the car in the last two weeks...the car's not even worth that except to me!

    Good luck with your bingo! Keep a spending diary all week then you'll know what to report back with next week....I have mine in my signature so it's all out on public display for all to see :eek: ;).
