  • I'm going to aim for £20. This is purely PERSONAL spending, and PERSONAL spending for the kids aged 10 and 4, you know what I mean? At the Post Office? "Muuuuuum, can I have a bar of chocolate" - THAT type of personal spending.
    Start Date: 27/11/2010
    Padding: Day 42
    Target £8000
    Amount: £562.23
  • Oh - forgot to say today's Spending

    £41.61 on 'big shop' (50 items, £8.27 multisaves)
    £0.99 on a Birthday card for my cousin's 1-year-old daughter, and £5 to stick into it.

    Total: £47.60.

    Sad Muppet here is really excited about entering it on her spreadsheet and seeing what percentage of her money goes where every week!!!

    Just managed to squeeze in the £20 budget and actually spent £19.90 which included a coffee for 2 at cafe nero (which I usually dont buy at those prices but my OH was really down and needed a treat) also needed new earings as I lost one of mine a few weeks ago! And ended up spending £2.90 on parking as I went to a town I don't know grrrrrrrr. But still made it in on budget! So again I'm going for £20 this week, hopefully stay within it! Good luck to all
    Oh and forgot to say NSD for me today (expect £26 in asda but that was the joint account!)

    Evening all!

    I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend, especially if you have ben lucky enough to have the sun shining down, as I have, in my part of the country. It's been fab and got me all inspired to do stuff around the house again!

    Anywa just reporting in the dail spends:

    £23.96 in a garde centre on some potting compost (for indoor plants) and 4 new very snazzy pots for some of my babies which were badly in need of repotting. Done!

    £6.33 in Tesco on 6 cartons of soya milk (I was stocking up whilst I had a car!!) and a bunch a beautiful deep red & white carnations to cheer the lounge & kitchen up. Luckily I had a £1.50 off voucher in my purse so the big spray of flowers only cost £2.49 and they are lovely.

    Off to update my signature now, the overdraft not getting any lower!

    Evening moozie and co :hello:

    Well last week's budget was £120,but due to the car repair being cheaper than expected,I only spent £97 :j

    Today I went into town to return the trousers I got yesterday,so £15 refunded,also the PS2 game was £4.99 refunded,but that was yesterday's spending and doesn't come in the challenge ;)

    Going to set budget this week at £5,not expecting anything to crop up and make me spend :o but you never know :D

    Have a good evening all
