Evening all

Another NSD for me today. :j:j Although that's nothing to shout about as i went over yesterday, need to work out what i spent, but should have known £10 wouldn't have been enough.

Just worked it out, have spent so far £13.32/£10. so will finish as RED but by how much???? :mad:

Welcome Victoria2322. :wave: Good luck with the challenge.

Well done on the NSD's flyinggiraffe and wannabee.

Wannabee - hope you sorted out your packed lunch. and didnt spend too much today.

Sorry its not going so well Lottie but you have done really well with your savings.

Now I'm not doing so well. Had a browse online and ended up ordering a jumper (it's chunky knitwear with a funky pattern that I struggled to resist!)

Another £35 spent. Although I was going to do clothes shopping next week so will reduce next weeks budget.

£56.25/£60

ETO - Yeah that is a good point and it is still going strong, am determined to not touch it until the rate drops next year.

Another bad day spend wise, although majority was spent on lightbulbs for home (which are going to have to go back because they are all wrong :mad:)

£18.99/£10.00

Have got dentist appointment today but have taken that bill as separate from the challenge.

Have a good day everyone xx

Hi all
Couldn't get on the forums last night to check in so here I am at the next available opportunity.
I didn't bother with packed lunch yesterday and ended up getting lunch on the go. It cost me £2.66, but I didn't ruin my diet so that's a plus for me.
Looks like I'm going to end the week in the green as long as I don't go home from work via the shops or anything silly like that.

I made it, £1.51 under budget!

New week starts for me today! starts as a big spend day because i needed some kitchen stuff which is preventing me from cooking so spend now to save later, so anyway budget for me this week is

£170

£106 already spent so got £64 left.

(big spends this week is new coat that will last the winter and not leave me freezing as I have done for the last 3 years as I havent had a coat)

I am going to try and start ebaying things next week so budgeted in spend for postage etc.

Hi everyone! I'm afraid I failed with bells on this week!

Have had a rough week with health issues so have been comfort eating by having takeaways :-(

Anyway I've hammered the overtime so shouldn't be too much of a detriment although it's not something I want to do often!!

Haven't read all of the thread so hope everyone is well.
