Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 15th April 2012

ladymay

Hello!

I used to do this challenge years ago, before I lost my way again Determined this time though, have even created a diary, hopefully that'll make me more accountable...

I know I'm too late for this week, just posting in here so I can find next week's challenge easily - and to say hi :wave: Having looked at your signatures, the way you guys have decreased your debts is such an inspiration!

Look forward to (re)joining you next week!

Welcome back ladymay how is it going?

Spends for me were £2 on breakfast on Thurs, £7 on breakfast and lunch today which makes me green woop. Total £9 / £30

LC are you ok to do next week? I will try and update first post when I get to a computer.

Hello pointypenguin :wave:

I'm well thank you, how are you?

Working in Bournemouth today, looking forward to getting out of London, even if it is for work!! Got a nice three hour break so hoping for sun (or at least no rain!) so I can head to the beach with my book :cool:

Morning all

Back again, my spendy week wasn't so bad as OH sneakily paid part of the hotel bill for his birthday:). I would like to pledge £40 next week.

Bearing in mind I'm off to the theatre twice this coming week, I'd like to pledge £40. This will include my groceries so might be a struggle, but there's nothing like a challenge!

I've also had a spendy week, lovely new jacket & top (for me) from charity shop. For a few weeks ds has been going on about a toy/game (a maze inside a clear ball which you have to negotiate a ball round) he had seen that he would like, well he struck lucky and the 2nd charity shop we went in they had one for sale, looked brand new - still had original packaging and price tag, we also picked up the last Harry Potter book (OH is reading them to us ) & some things to use when we are doing maths & science (we home educate) lots of fantastic things bought for less than the cost of buying ds's toy new :money:

We have also eaten out 3 times this week with various friends and family, which has been good after being stuck at home for weeks due to illness.

Thankfully all this spending has come out of separate budgets so this week has been purple. Next week I would like to spend no more than £5

well finished this week slightly in the green. Had £1.56 left. £12.44 / £14

Pledging £20 for next week, possibly having a meal out on weds, but nothing else planned, and thats all i pretty much have left until payday.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
