Budget was £20 - spent zip.
Well actually I did spend but it was from a free bet and to cheer mum up, not out of budget.
This week, spent nothing sun/mon, so £10 (I am on holiday after all :rotfl:)No longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -
Hi lynsayjane and everyone else :hello:
My target last week was £35 and I just went over at £36.60, but it was my mum's birthday and I took her out to lunch in that too!!
I'm on holiday from work this week AND it's half term, oh, and I'm going to the hairdresser's tomorrow, so my budget this week will be
£50 :eek:DMP starts June 2012, £38,180.

8. Helping_hubby. Last week was £10 and I spent £4.99 (and I managed to get some quidco cashback for that). It was a "How to grow your own Veg" book.
This week I have no reason to spend any money that's not been budgeted for. My weekly strict food shop is going to plan so I shouldn't need any unbudgeted top ups. So I'm aiming for a no spend week. £0.0 -
I'll join in this week and set a budget of £10 from now (Monday evening) until Friday evening. I'm attempting to give up wine until the end of the month (started Saturday) in an effort to save cash and lose weight.
Have plenty of petrol and food so the £10 is just for 1 pack of naughty cigs (I know!!) and any extra bits needed.
Fingers crossed!!0 -
Thanks LJ - I have opened the daily spending thread and am delighted with the response. No one's going to let our Moozie fade off the boards - her threads are too important.
Anyway - I'm going to stick with my £15.00 target. Managed to keep inside last week, but this week may be a bit more difficult, as I start a job next Monday and could have some unexpected spends, but I'll try.:beer:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

I'm going for a budget of $30 this week. It's pretty high, but I'm going to another city that has 6 charity shops and I intend to shop til I drop... oh, and have lunch. So that's about 12 quid.
Could really use a second pair of black work pants in that, these are really starting to p*** me off. They pick up white bits better than any clothes brush I ever owned!!Softstuff- Officially better than 0070 -
I'd join in BUT I completely forgot last time I did post on this AND I'm going to get some new bookcases and a waudrobe on Thursday which will make my spending sky high and well...I don't want to talk about it even though it has been saved up and accounted for!Official DFW Nerd Club - Member #398 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts :T
CC: £6412.95 (0% APR until Feb 2015 which I'm hoping is also my DFD!)
Currently awaiting the outcome of a PPI claim which may bring forward my DFD, fingers and toes crossed!0 -
