The new Sunday to Friday challenge - 25 March

Casperthefriendlyghost

Hi Moozie and co
Really sorry, it's after one in the morning and I've had the most hectic day ever. I have spent my £ 5.00 this week and would like to try £ 5.00 again next week. Thanx so much. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Just wish it could be payday soon, four more days to go. TG! It's been a long month!

Thanx

Softstuff

My budget flew out of the window for this week already, but for a good reason... I got a job! YAY!

Had to dash out and buy a pair of black pants and a white shirt (no, I really don't own any.... I own very little stuff, when I moved to Aus I fit everything in 1 suitcase!). So I spent $12, I didn't exactly splash out though, I went to a charity shop. Also got a new deodorant, but that was with a gift card I had. So, I start work tomorrow. It's only part time, and I have no idea how many hours yet, but hell, even a few is better than nothing.

So I'll revise my budget to a whopping $20 in total for this week (which is about 8 pounds, so not as bad as it sounds).

Well, I've only just updated the first post and there are far too many of us in red! :eek: Come on people, let's get our act together this week! We can do it :j

Also....

A huge welcome to the newcomers!

Nicola, never apologise for starting the 'how much...' These can quite comfortably be separate threads anyway

LIH, hope you feel better very soon :grouphug:

Softstuff, congratulations!!! That must be a weight off your shoulders! Really happy for you :T Now make sure the $4.50 for the job hunting press gets re-directed wisely

Hi sorry I am late - too tired to be on the PC last night

Anyway budget for last week was £10 and I spent only £3.10 of it - yeh.

This week setting a budget of £25 as I know I am out on Friday for the day with my friend and her kids so see how it goes. Budget for shopping will be £30 this week and already spent £13.52 :eek:

Please can I join too? As the week is half gone I'll set myself £5 between now and Friday

Just had a thought though...if I break into the £5 note and get £2 coins or 20p's in my change and have to save them they're gonna have to be counted as spent too!!! This money saving lark is harder than it looks haha

not a great start on my first week, but completely justified... my mum broke her arm and the extra spend was on sending her flowers

I spent £16.67 of my £20 budget so well within. I spent £21.67 in theory but my Mam is giving me £5.00 of it back today.

Hi All! Not such a good week - but my target was a bit low! I've actually spent £12.49......so rather more than a fiver!!! Ah well, it could so easily have been more!

Spent [EMAIL="26@13"]£26.13[/EMAIL] of my £30 thanks to my spending diaries.

aah

Oh sorry I am red too, I budgeted £20 and have spent £30.60.

Next week I have LOADS on and its my turn for the pocket money and student son - money swallower - is home so I'm budgeting a horrendous £100.

Best wishes to all, and loads of thanks again Moozie, this thread is a lifesaver
