    eeeek sorry it took me so long to respond, managed to fall asleep once I got back in from town and wasted the whole evening!!! 1 hour and 25 mins till 24 is on and I've not even taken mywork uniform out the washer to dry and iron it for tomorrow morning...

    on that thought I do believe I have formulated a theory on moozie's disappearance, I reckon she's off trying to convince muslim terrorists to kidnap her so jack can come and save her and she can try to entice him away from me :rotfl: scheming cow ;)

    anyway, back on topic! So pleased to see so many greens on the list, guess the threat of a visit to my naughty house is too much for you all!!!

    beanie and rachel, don't worry too much the overspends were very small and we all need a little buffer to our budget anyway.

    ciara, I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad week, since you said £5ish I've put you in green :) hope this week picks up for you.

    PAP well done on the debt free thing! and good luck for your driving test, what a financial boost that will make to your savings when you pass!!!

    Rog, don't worry about the larger budget, the fact you are budgeting for these spends is a huge improvement on how you would have dealt with it before your lbm so well done to you! Don't worry about the daily spends, we'll just look forward to a much increased post at the weekends. good luck with your first week xx

    I was going to join in this week but am basically on a spend as little as humanly possible budget as I've got £31 left until payday next Monday and I really want to be able to do something next weekend (how inconsiderate is that, paying us on a Monday ;))!

    I can't quite believe it - it was half-term week, so I budgeted £50 and managed to only spend £24 :j :j

    This next week I need to renew my monthly train pass, so I will budget £75

    i must get back on the wagon, have been rubbish for the last week, had to buy a new washing machine and drifted into the 'spent £250 so whats a bit more mentality)
    my aim is to spend £30 including groceries (i really dont need anything other than fruit and veg!)

    i can i can i can
    - prior planning prevents poor performance!

    I spent £3.40 on parking and £5.95 on lunch (okay I treated myself, was out with a friend and have been on holiday!) so £9.35

    Next week, back to college (5 weeks and counting...) and lots of working so £10 should do it
