    Evening moozie - my budget was £100 last week and miraculously I came in just under at £98.50 ;)

    This week I don't think I have any expensive spends - other than DH's birthday on Friday - so I will budget £35

    Spent £3.80 on parking :D

    Spent a bit more today but that was for Mystery Shops so will be refunded anyway.

    This week, work work and work, so will go for £10 but won't be here to update until at least Friday :eek:

    I had a bit of a bad week last week. I spent $4.80 on newspapers, which was OK since I was jobhunting. But things went downhill when my ink cartridge packed up (normally I refill them, but this one was stuffed) and I had to buy a new one at $30. Couldn't wait for that either since I need it for printing visa stuff. :rolleyes:

    As for this week I'm aiming for $5. I only *need* the newspapers. If I buy anything else, even food, it's purely wasteful.

    Edit: I don't count my mystery shops in this, I keep some money aside for those as it gets refunded. Lovely set of coathangers I got this week LOL

    As you can see from my sig. I was having a really bad time last week and run out of money before all the bills were paid. :(

    But this week I am getting back on track. And I am ready to budget again.

    And I'm sticking with £20.

    Oh dear!
    It hasn't gone well.

    I think I spent about £34. It went wrong coz i had some days off work and had to go to tesco, then picked up all sorts of rubish that we didn't need.

    Another £10 budget for next week i think.

    Can I join please?

    Trying sooo hard to save :A
  • Well, I was sure I was going to end up on the naughty step this week as I agreed to go out to lunch and pay for a friend also. But the friend refused to accept and we went somewhere really cheap :) So, I had a budget of £6 this week and only spent £5.05. No naughty step for me.

    I have £7 left in my cashbag until the end of the month, so my budget for this week will be ... £7. What will I do with all that money ??? ;) Try not spend it, of course! :D
