    Hi All,

    I think I joined the challenge last week at £50. Anyway my actual spend was £9.81 which I'm really pleased about. It might have something to do with me charging my OH £16.75 for the NO7 serum. However wish I had put it on Ebay and made even more money. Oh well...

    I will set myself a challenge of £65 as I am going out for dinner with friends on Tuesday and perhaps meeting up with friend for coffee/lunch on Friday.

    Today I have spent:

    Tesco: £9.54 (OH paid for half)
    Petrol: £15.01
    Found 5p

    Have a good day all! :-)
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
    Mutual points: 3417 (redeemed 8250)
    Rpoints:redeemed 28925 points)Cashbag:£8.91(£20)

    I'll go for £20 again this week, I spent a little more than I thought, due to my bf having a cold, so had to get cough medicine and tissues etc.

    Last week I spent £19.98 so very close!

    Hope your lunch went well, Moozie - we have our daughter and partner coming for dinner at 6, bringing wine:beer: so I doubt if I'll be around this evening. :rolleyes:
    I have looked at my 'budget' for the week, and am going to try to spend less than£15.00, so could you put that down as my target?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I've never done this challenge before although i have set myself a weekly 'non-budgeted' expenses limit of £20. Spent just over £15 last week and that included a meal and night out on friday (yey, there are benifits to volunteering to drive if friends buy you drinks all night for a lift home!)

    So this week i say £20 again.
