    Seeing as I spent under £17 last week I'm budgeting myself £17 this week. So I'd better get updating my sig.:)

    Evening moozie and all :hello:

    Been a lovely day here today :j been doing all the washing and getting the camping stuff cleaned ready for going away Easter weekend :j not going far,but it's a break ;) can't wait.

    This weeks budget was a no spend week and I stuck to it :j I didn't spend anything,until yesterday,but that was only £2,65 on a couple off coffees and parking.

    Next weeks budget is £8,the kids will need to be entertained as they are off,so I hope to keep it under £8 as we are going away.

    Have a good evening and hope work gets better for you Moozie :grouphug:

    Hi all,

    I know this may sound a bit extreme but I am going to make sure that I have no more than £5 on me on anyday and carry no cards at all.

    This will mean that I cannot break my budget within one day without actually going home first and collecting my card to draw some more cash out. I have budgeted for everything else and I find that most of my moiney goes on impulse purchases of takeaway food and snacks.

    I have a monthly Oyster card (budgeted of course) so the £5 will be really emergency money kept at the bottom of my case so I cannot access it easily ;)


    Just one more thing. If you see a Sales Rep at Liverpool Street Station answering to the name of Crown & claiming to have lost his case and emergency £5.00 would you please be kind enough to lend him £2 to get home? Cheers (just kiddin :rotfl: )

    Hi, would you mind if I joined in too? So much of my money simply disappears on odds and sods, so this will be a great challenge for me.

    I going to go for £10

    Good luck everyone!

    hmmm glad i'm not the only one!!

    i have not had a good few weeks but hopefully am back on track - i got paid on (well dh) 23rd and have spent more than half my months food budget already but luckily i have curbed it now

    so i am also back here - as although i haven't quite returned to my former ways it only takes a few weeks of not keeping track to spend more than i hoped

    i would like to set a budget of £15 this week - but am hoping it will be £10 :D
