Challenge - can I do it???

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!
