  • I spent £9.92 of my £20 budget last week. That was £2 on envelopes and £2.92
    on postage for Ebay sales. And £5 on my Oyster PAYG card which I haven't used yet.

    So will pay the £10 left towards debts.

    Another £20 budget for the next week, but hoping to spend less than £10, although postage several Ebay sales may push that up

    My budget was £10 for last week & I spent around that.
    This week coming will aim for the same .
    Today was a NSD.
    I seem to be managing to have NSD's SUN & Mon which helps a bit.

    Only spent £1 today and will set a budget of £20 this week. £10 for DS and DD for school and £10 for me. Got a good money week this week, CSA Monday, Child Benefit Tuesday, Pay day Wednesday and Tax Credits Friday. First of the month on Thursday though so all DD's go out of my account!!!!!
  • Moozie I failed again as I spent £177.81.

    I'm not going to set a budget for the time being (see the Ramblings for more of an update if you haven't already) but I'll be back when I know what I'm doing! Promise!

  • Hi Moozie and co

    Last week I allocated £10.00 spending money for the week, and in fact I only spent £ 6.34 and the week before I did not spend any of my £10.00 so this week I have decided to allocate £5.00 for myself. I feel like this is money wasted, but it is nice to just have some leeway to just buy a coffee or a magazine, and I think £5.00 a week is not a massive amount, anyway will see how it goes this week. As it's the end of the month, I will be compiling my excel spreadsheet of things I spent money on this month to see where I can cut back some more.

    Thanx

    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:

    well moozie I'm very pleased to say that step one of my budget has gone very well, did my food shopping for the week this evening and spent a whopping £4.59...so still within my budget. gonna try for three nsd's mon,tues,wed...fingers crossed!

    I spent £4.70 last week with a budget of £5 so ok there.

    But I am now on CAFCgirl's give up money for lent challenge so have now had 5 NSDs in a row. Only 35 to go....:eek:

    So for me, the grand total for this week's challenge has to be a big fat Zero!!!!!

    Have a good week everyone x
