    Hi moozie!!!

    can I join in? I did not add up my last week but I would like to do it this coming week! Lets see what I can pledge.... Monday is going out day, Tuesday have to take my teacher to a coffee because last time he invited me, and thursday going out lunch with charity. The rest is fine, just normal weekly spends, so can I start with £45? I know it could be less but thats a challenge enough for me!!!!

    Can I join in? I'm not really trying to get out of debt but we are saving for our wedding at the moment. I'll go for £20 this week. I won't be able to post next sunday though as I'm away - I'll have to update on monday.

    Was just under this week, can't remember exactly because I'm dead on my feet!

    Only working one day next week plus volunteering so £5 should do it

    Ok if I join in? I certainly need somethng to stop me thinking I can spend freely (doesn't happen too often, but shouldn't happen at all!) I'd like to go for £15 I think.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    Not good this week I overspent by £4.50 which by a coinsidence is the amount I spent in the bargain corner of ikea on a waste bin, 2 pillow cases, 2 candle stands and a hotdog for OH!! Damn Ikea for being so cheap!! Never mind, I think I may have an underspend on petrol this month as I have been very careful with driving so this should cover it hopefully. Anyway it's a new week so a clean slate and I'm starting off with £20 again! Good luck to all LGx
