    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:)

    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.

    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!!

    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'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!!

    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!
