    Hi moozie,

    I am setting myself £10 for this week coming as I have just spent way too much money on things for my allotment - £100 in fact!:eek: Whilst it wasn't wasting money and has all been very carefully budgeted for, planned and researched to get the best deal it was still very scary spending so much money - I am out of practice:rotfl:
    So anyway, I need to have a good week to make up for it.
    I spent £12.52 out of my £15 budget from last week:j
    Have a good week everyone

    Hi Moozie, and co

    Can I join in too, it's my first week!

    I sort of started last week, before coming to the site, and managed to spend less than £10, which I was quite pleased with.

    I think I will go for the same again, OH put petrol in the car, so we should be fine for a couple of weeks!

    Evening Moozie and co.

    Although I forgot to sign up last Sunday I did set myself a budget and actually stuck to it for the first time. :T

    I set it for £25.10 (Leftovers after groceries) and I spent £11.94.

    I'm setting a budget of £15 this week. I should only have to pay for swimming on Wednesday night. I've got no nights out planned and a busy week at work.

    I didn't spend a thing today, I went to my sister's house-warming party last night where I got fed and put up for the night. I stayed for breakfast (pancakes) and Sunday roast too, so that was lovely and a total No Spend Day bonus. My little sister is an absolute Angel. :A

    Have a great week everyone, keep it low. :beer:

  • I did buy a takeaway on Friday - first one for months - that was £13.50 but I had been to see about some work for next Friday and didn't finish the 'interview' till 10.30 so technically that was dinner and has gone on the housekeeping budget (and very tasty!!!).

    Spent £6.48 on CDs but that was for the job on Friday - will be DJing in a local club so that's really expenses against what I will get paid.

    So NO personal spends this week :j

    I'll say £10 for next week

    Hello All

    Can I join please?

    I've got to buy petrol and do a little shop but they are budgeted elsewhere so I'm going to give myself a target of £10 for the first week. I'm not going out and I can't foresee anything I will need to get.

    Thanks
