Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 22nd Jan 2012

wannabee_in_credit

Hi all
I had petrol and a haircut today so a bit spendy, but they're both budgeted for out of other pots so still a 0 for me. I've put a £20 note in my purse and that now needs to do me the rest of the week. I'm still 9 days from payday but the situation this month is much improved from previous months.

Did not do well last week - managed No Spends until my budgeted train fare Thursday, but then carelessly racked up £30 spend over the weekend So total spend was £39.80 out of £25. Appalling! This week I WILL be better! Back at uni so train fare now comes out of the reserved funds.

Monday - £3.50 swim
Tuesday - No plans, NSD
Wednesday - Uni, NSD
Thursday - Uni, NSD
Friday - Swim planned, but may change, so budgeting in £3.50
Saturday - Work, trying to limit myself to £5 for evening activities!
Sunday - NSD

Budget: £12.00

Must do better this week!!

Good Morning x

After my purple week last week I think it might be a bit ambitious to expect another one this week but I am not going to pledge as much as I usually do to try to keep what spending I do in check. I would like to pledge £5 please.

Started off well

Sunday - NSD


Hope the rest of the week goes to plan

Have a great Monday x x

Hello All - hope you don't mind if I join in too please?:j

My target this week is £50, but I am going to go from Sunday to Saturday and as yesterday's spends were all accounted for then am on target. My DD needed bus money for the week today of £12, so that's £38 left for the week.

Happy Monday everyone :wave:

Planned Thursday: NSD
Planned Friday: £1 for chocolate

Huh...MOT was absolutely fine! Plus I was early... wonders will never cease! And the guy who does mine (has done for years, he's proper old school!) said not to worry about my emissions light being on as it'll just be the sensor. Same as what my dad said, but it's nice to hear from a professional. Anyway, that's twice in just over 2 months the emissions have actually been tested and they are fine so I can stop worrying! That's my last car payout for a while hopefully, need time for my Car Fund budget pot to fill up again, it's looking very malnourished after the last few months!

Did my small food shop on the way home but nothing from this budget. Not planning on going out again today, if I do it'll only be to Tesco for some tablets I've run out of, but that'l be like £1.50, and only if required!!! hehe, have a great day all

Sun 22 Jan: NSD
Planned - Mon 23 Jan: AL, NSD for challenge, MOT from Car Fund budget, small fresh shop from Food budget
Planned - Tue 24 Jan: AL, NSD

Hello everyone! :wave:

I was MIA last week, so I didn't get round to making a pledge, and ended up slipping into old habits and have been splashing the cash; so I'm back here on the forum to get me back on track!

This week I have a couple of things to fork out for, so I'll pledge £100 and will keep my fingers crossed that I stay within budget!

Have a good week everyone and thanks for this week thread Pointy!
