  • Hello fellow challengers!

    Well I just made it last week - had said £20, and came in at £19.50. I had to buy a replacement pair of gardening gloves which cost £10, butI decided to get a decent pair that would last.
    This week I will be spending lots as it is payday, but it will be from my other budgets. As far as this challenge goes I should be able to keep it fairly low, so am setting myself a £15 budget.

    Good luck everyone

    I did and also spend £1 on a craft kit for my dd (although intend getting that back from OH as he stayed in bed til 1.30pm today!!). Also £2 on chocs for kids at school due to a competition and £1 on buscuits for me this afternoon when marking.

    Moozie 25 44.49 naughty cow! :o

    moozie I can't possibly imagine why there is a laughing smilie beside my name...I made a budget of £20 and I stuck to it religiously....until the monday :rotfl: ooops! right financially screwed for the next five weeks (stupid five week month!) but it's all in a good cause, paid off one of my credit cards and £500 of my od today so :j just means I'm a [STRIKE]lot[/STRIKE] little screwed, so please feel free to be very strict with me (cue minnie with a dominatrix cow pic ;) )

    right this is my breakdown for next week and I'm gonna put 100% into sticking to it!
    £30 for spending at my granda's 80th on friday
    £20 to allow for train home if needed (if not i'll be at mums for her bday which means dinner out)
    £10 food shopping for the week (should be easy as just fresh bits needed)
    £10 in my purse for all other spends... will need hair dye and face wash at some point
    and maybe £25 for a bag from warehouse for friday night, I have nothing to take with me :eek:

    the good news is I won't need birthday pressies for my mum or my granda, he said he didn't want any and mum won't mind cause I'm skint!

    so we're looking at either £70 or £95 this week :eek:
  • OK, I'm in if that's OK. I have £7 in purse. So I'll budget that and try not to go to the cash machine at all! This is my 5th NSD in a row so if I keep it up there should be no problems... I hope.

    Edit: Dang just realised I lied .. I bought two stamps yesterday so not an NSD. Amazing how you forget these little things. And I yes, I had written it down in my spending diary :rotfl:

    Have not spent any money all day and really dont plan too nsd for me.
  • Hi, I ended up going over my budget yesterday. I had to get a few bits sorted in my car, so I've ended up spending £42.00 this week. I'll budget £30 for next week, that should be OK.
