Chele- Good Luck on your challenge hun, look forward to seeing how you get on!
Feeling much better after a lazy day, although I think I may have done something very naughty.......................Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
I had another no spend today apart from hairdresser which was budgeted for! Seem to have read that somewhere else before!!
Also, spookily enough I woke up with a sore throat too - it must be down to the lack of chocolate that we are all suffering.
It's the wedding do tomorrow and the vouchers still haven't turned up - think I'll just have to pretend to be dizzier than normal and pretend I forgot them & then drop them in when they come - do you guys think that is acceptable? If not I'll have to go into town tomorrow & buy some (WHAT? SPEND MONEY:mad: ) and then be left with vouchers I don't really want.
Anyway hope you all feel better soon.
I'm pleased it is £10 per week, but think in that case I will shave some more off my budget so I don't get too carried away.0 -
Oh I'm sorry, we must have missed your post when you signed up for challenge
I'm in the other challenge - the £10 a day one...

we must all have missed that one too!
Pippo hun, hold out, they might just turn up tomorrow.
If not make sure you put a card on the table, if they're anything like my uncle and his wife, they didnt get round to presents for a few days anyway, so you can always drop them in when they turn up! Maybe just pop a little seperate note inside the card.

Another week of no spend. I think CAFCgirl that £10 a week is very generous, I don't know what I will do with all that money. I am now so accustomed to spending nothing!business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527
