Hi everybody,

I spent £8.18 today. Got a fab handbag from a charity shop for £2!!

Also got a waterproof swimming kit bag for DD and a little lunch bag for DS from b&m for £3.49 for them both.

Also had to pick up 2 birthday cards for my sis.

That's £34.18/£40 pledged for this week but still got my extra £13 from last week!

I realised I spent more than I posted yesterday (hooray for spending diaries)! I actually spent £13.60 so that's taken me to £42.60 which is slightly over budget but not too bad.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this challenge. It certainly opens my eyes as to where those extra spends might have gone previously!

I might join the NSD challenge for next month too. I can imagine that will be motivating.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Change to my plan today was saving my £7 for a couple of soft drinks tonight, was out for a leaving do, but am having to go into work tonight from 19.15 - midnight. Hope i can stay awake.

Spent £2 on car parking this morning. so have £5 left at mo.

I really enjoy this challenge too. It really makes me think, if i have to come here and report everyday, especially if they are avoidable spends.
