  • I did well last week...then the weekend hit. Comfort spending!! I didn't go insanely overboard (£22.99 + £18 already saved for) but that cuts down this week big style.

    This weeks target: £5. I've sold a few bits on eBay - weekly eBay aim is to make £6 to cover 2 x swim sessions.
    Do or do not. There is no try. (Yoda!)

    Moozie Sunday to Friday challenge: £5 spent so far £0.
  • Good evening Moozie and all you lovely DFWs.

    I finally managed a week within budget! :T Budgeted £30 Spent £20.67.

    Will budget £30 again this week. Am going Speed dating for the first time on Tuesday. It normally costs £19 but they didn't have enough ladies so invited us along for £5. Bargain.

    I had a No Spend Day today and my sister made me dinner. So excellent all round.

    Have a good week everyone. :A

    Oh yeah?

    The boys have proof!

    Is this, or is this not, your OH - complete with biscuits?

    Actually, we had this done for our new home. As you can see, the OH is most definitely NOT the smilling chap. Catarazzi are losing their touch :rotfl:

  • Well I suppose it is actually Monday but just wanted to check it before turning in...

    Last week my budget was £27.03 and spent £21.88 (and some of that will be claimed back on expenses:D )

    This week I have a budget of £22.50 - would love to come in well in under as Saturday is going to be an expensive day.

    Good night all - have a low spending week
  • Yesterday was a NSD day for me. wooo!!

    I pledge £50 this week as im going out on tuesday for a good old catch up with a long lost friend, and i now have weightwatchers to pay for, so ill start high, and then work my way down for next week.

    hellooo,

    well I have been absent from here for ages..... I put it down to lack on internet connection at weekends. Anyway, I had a NSD yesterday (didn't actually step foot outside so difficult to spend), I have £5 left over from my weekend budget and will draw £10 out maybe today/ tomorrow. I need to get v-day card and send a parcel to a friend who has just had a new bubba.
    Only doing the challenge until Thursday as I am going to OH's parents for his birthday on Friday and I have a whole other budget for that.
    Have a good week everyone!

    Proud to be dealing with my debts
