Well done those who met their target, and congratulations to the mum to be (ETO) and to Oopsdaisydoddle on the promotion!

Bah, didn't manage it this week. I have no staying power, that's my problem. Also did not think and started paying for stuff on my debit card whoch I told myself I wouldn't do. Grrr. Then the kettle broke!

I think I spent 45 / 30 . Will pledge 40 for next week and see if I can do better

I've had 2 nsds from this budget so end the week in the green by quite a long way for me actually! It used to be the case that I was busy every single day of the hols and spending a fortune, but this half term has been a reasonably quiet one.
So I declare a green £40.90/£70.
I'm on the NOvember challenge so should be aiming for a target of 0 next week, but I will say £5, just in case.

I think this has been my best week ever for spends. I think that those who have joined the NOvember challenge are brilliant but I'm not that hardcore:o.

I'm going to go for £40 next week as I'm off out to a show on Friday night.

ETO and Ooops - Congrats on your good news _party_!!

Total at the end - £69.67/£70.00 (33p put to savings)

Have had to spend over when necessary so I have taken it out of other budgets (eg Xmas presents) or have waived going anywhere this weekend (which means a weekend of cooking/baking, decluttering, xmas organising and MONEYSAVING as will ring sky and see if there is anything I can save there and sort out PPI complaints) There is a farmers market on today so I know if I go out I will spend so am staying rooted indoors.

Will pledge £70.00 for next week as well. Have a good weekend everyone xxx

Good morning all and congratulations to both ETO and Oopsadaisy,

Only two NSDs this week and blew my budget mainly due to an evening meal last night with DH as he had been holding the fort whilst I was away for work. That and the demands of half term means I've spent £93.94 :mad:

Will have to do better next week so £30 please ETO :)
