Last week I totally blew it, and I didn't even keep receipts to work out how much I spent.

I want to pledge £20 again this week.

Also, does anyone have any tips for working out how much you've actually spent?

^^^ only thing I can suggest is to keep any receipts in your purse and have a clear out every week to see what you've bought.

Or have you got a memo function on your phone so you can update every time you buy something. Maybe a good idea if you tend to lose receipts?

Can I pledge £50 this week please?

ETO thanks for running the challenge.

Last week I was purple
This week I would like to pledge to spend no more than £20

Have a lovely week everyone.

This morning I pledged £20 as a friend of ours (& her family) is having a nightmare of a time so I thought we may end up with unplanned visits to coffee shops, easy entertainment for the children, now she doesn't know if she is here this week or staying with family 50 miles away, their life is so up in the air at the moment and she is feeling so low (understandably). If she is around I'll spend time & money with her, if she is away I'll try to spend £0

Morning everyone. Yesterday just went over spends, I have found that by having OH with me when shopping I always go over (he's the common denominator :rotfl:)
