    ETO thanks for running this thread, I find it very helpful, shame I've been late signing up most weeks recently :o

    Last week I spent none of this budget making it purple

    Life has been frantic the last few weeks and is looking to continue this way but I'm trying very hard to not spend over £5

    Sunday, Monday & Tuesday all NSD's :j

  • Spent £9.25 today on magazines and wine (night in front of the tv planned)

    I think this brings me to £9.25/£30 this week because of the tenner I was given earlier in the week.

    Just got to see how tomorrow goes - planning on doing grocery shop in town and I know I'm feeling the need to buy clothes at the moment.....
  • Morning everyone! Went slightly over my £10.00 yesterday.

    £10.44/£10.00

    Total for the week:
    £48.49/£70.00 (£20.00 put into savings acc from savings pot and surplus in bank acc)

    Very pleased with myself as have been able to put in £441.00 since opening it on 6th September by using this thread, as well as money given back from expenses, returns and selling stuff (once I get round to putting it on :) )
