Afternoon all

We were away for the night last night at friends. We spent mainly from the joint acc, although i needed some bits so i think i am down to about £6 left, i am never going to make the end of the week, but will keep it as low as possible.
And i just need to remember up until about 4-5 months ago, i would have just kept spending each week and would never have thought about the little spends i was making and not worrying about.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Declaring a GREEN week!!! Not sure what's been going on with me emotionally but am up and down - and this month my spending has just gone crazy :-(

On the up - I received £65.41 expenses owed to me!!! On the down - I know I have withdrawn £80.00 and don't have a whole lot to show for it... I did buy £10 worth of saver stamps towards xmas - but as to what the rest went on - am not sure - I just didn't keep track which isn't like me!!!

So - I was allowed £20 to spend. I spent an excess of £60 - but received £65.41 back. Sooo... My end of week balance is £14.59/£20.00. Is that right?

Ok - I need to get back on track.

Have felt a bit low and had stuff going on at work and in my personal life and have been off my game! I have a week off next week to get myself back in gear!!!

I can do this!!!

:A

Next week am pledging £30 as have a date on Thursday!!!

Red for me this week, approx £25 something.

Am setting £14 for next week, but not much on, and back at work so spending should be down to a minimum.

Have a good weekend all and thanks for the thread PP.

eeek the shame my spends for the week...

Sun £5
Mon £3.98 on chocolate for dd & £45 on shoes being mended (minus £17 on cc) = £31.98
Tues £49 on a distance study course - out of savings but still...
Wed £8
Thurs £1
Friday £20 on a birthday gift for mil, £17 on a chinese for mil's b'day, £7 on a birthday cake (all of this is out of my savings for birthday's)

total £148.98/£25 :eek::o if I hadn't purchased the course/got my shoes mended and it hadn't been mil's b'day celebrations I would have spent £27.98...

am going to pledge £25 for the coming week....

This week has been a bit of a non event due to illness, mine DD & OH, thankfully we all on the mend.

As a result I have spent £0

Next week I will try to spend no more than £5

Well I have gone over budget! I was doing really well and fell at the last hurdle!!! We went to the garden centre yesterday to buy a few plants as the children like growing fruit and veg, and flowers. Whenever I go there, it always seems to cost more than I anticipate, so, £43 lighter we leave, but hopefully, with some salad things and veg growing it'll help in the long term!!

So I am declaring green at a spend of £77.63 out of a £50 budget:(

Next week I'd like to pledge £50 again!
