    Hi everyone, I went over my budget for the week, I ended up going out for a few drinks with friends last night, which I had forgot to budget for. I spent £34 this week. I'll budget £30 for next week. x

    Evening moozie and co :hello:

    Just gathering up a cushion and blanket for a spell on the VERY naughty step :confused: with any others that will be joining me :o Sorry moozie,gone well over budget this week,what with baggy drawers and the like :rotfl: budget was £8,I stopped counting when it reached £20 :eek: I promise to do better next week ;)

    Next weeks budget will have to be £120 :eek: must allow money for the car repair,DH insists it will be no more than £50,but whatever he says if you double it,then that normally works out right :rotfl:

    Have a good evening everyone

    At least you have a night of passion to think about while sitting on the cold step ;) :rotfl:

    well moozie would you believe it? I'm so in budget I'm almost rich :rotfl: almost!

    last week budget/actual

    granda's party £30/£0
    travel £20/£1.60, dad gave me £20 for the train!
    food £10/£4.59
    bag £25/£0, took back the one I did buy
    stuff £10/£24.20, bought a bag and sunglasses on sat and some munchies for dad and me last night which put me over.

    so from my budget of £70/£95 I actually spent...£30.39 :j

    am so very impressed with that!

    so this week, I have no big plans this week and I'm working the weekend which will no doubt mean no partying :( but I am possibly going to the pub on tuesday after our prelim exams at college (well needed i think!) and I spent £8.23 in asda on food today, might need a couple of other bits too.

    food £15 (to include todays spend)
    stuff £9 (it's the cash thats left in my purse)
    going out £10 MAXIMUM!!!

    that should do me this week so a total of £34....easy!

    I stayed within budget (only as we're not counting saturday!! :) )
    £16.21 in total.
    My budget for the next week will be £15, and whatever is left will go on a bottle of wine for when my friend comes for the weekend :) SO that means I have to stay under budget!

    I stayed within budget - hurrah. Had budget of £7 and spent £6.59. Very pleased with myself as that includes coach tickets to London for June (which I would normally have booked at the last minute and paid a fortune for!).

    This week I'm going for a £5 budget ... but really I'm hoping not to break
    that £5 note that's in purse. We'll see...

    TBH - I was naughty. I lost track after Tuesday because it was going so badly. :o
    So this week I really need to cut back.

    I have to d my main shop. (I only do a main one every 4 weeks.) So this weeks spend is going to be higher. And I need to buy Garreth some shoes.
    I'm budgeting around £40-£50 for everything!!!!

    (Sorry if I misunderstand anything!) :o
