Morning all,
Completely blew it last week, although I did make money from fleabay I'm not counting it until I'm debt free as it just goes towards my debts.
This week I have the following:

Sunday: NSD
Planned Monday: NSD
Planned Tuesday: NSD
Planned Wednesday: NSD
Planned Thursday: Rock climbing £12
Planned Friday: Drive to Cardiff for a birthday should be £10 for a bottle of wine
Planned Saturday: NSD hopefully

So this week my budget will be £25 again, although I really want it to be less. However, I am selling some things on fleabay so this might counterbalance it

Hi am I too late to join this challenge?

I'd like to budget with £30 this week. It's alot considering I don't have much on but its my first time i've done this challenge so I need to find my feet.

I spent £1.18 today on a Fruitshoot for my daughter on the way home from school (she was desperate for a drink!) Apart from this I don't have any intentions of buying anything.

Good Luck everyone!!
