Challenge - can I do it???

Posts: 508 Forumite


So, I am trying to challenge myself to spend very little until I get paid on 15 August.
I have put some money in my savings and have left £36 to survive on - can I do it?
I dont need to buy any food for home (and I take my lunch to work), I have put credit on my mobile and all the bills are paid.
I do need to buy some petrol (£15-20 should cover it) and I need to pay for my slimming world class £4.25 (x 2 weeks) - I know its going to be really tight and I will have to stay in but I really want to do it so that I can prove to myself I am a winner!

Actually, I think I might join you
Thanks to a bountiful supply of offers and glitches, my freezer and cupboards are FULL! To the brim. I will only need fresh milk and veg every week. Im trying to limit to £10 week for food this month and save a good chunk! :money:
Might have to hang out around this board instead of the grabbit for a bit :rotfl:0 -
Well I will have to hang around here to stop myself from going out!
Good luck0 -
