The Unneccesary Challenge

CAFCGirl

Its never too late Kitty Kate.

First step is to get yourself organised!
Make a concise effort to make your lunch at home and bring it to work! (Thats the bit I always struggle with!)

Start analysing where all your money seems to go too. Spending diaries are really helpful for people on this.
I discovered my little black hole of money is munchies. I love FOOD!

That and take everything out of your purse for day to day. Take your cards with you when you know you're doing a bit food shop for example but leave them at home otherwise!
Keep your £10 for the week in your purse and that be it!

Im sure other posters will give you a heads up on their top tips!
Good Luck and Welcome to the challenge

If you need help with website stuff let me know, I'm a webdeveloper so I might be able to help.

it's little things mainly, I am doing better than I used.
I don't spend money at work anymore
I don't tend to buy useless gadgets or clothes anymore
Tesco is my main problem, buying food that we don't need, yesterday I bought roughly about 5 packs of mince that was on offer, saying that we will use them, they're in the freezer.
Just feels as though I'm getting no where sometimes and since I live with my parents I don't technically have to buy food or any house things, but I do.
I guess it's unneccessary and I should try harder

Hello peeps

I've come to confess. I've spent £2.38 on chocolate! It's that time and I'm getting over yet another bout of tonsilitus so was feeling rotten. I had hoped to bank my whole £10 this month but not anymore.

Glad to hear everyone else is doing ok. Welcome to our newbies :hello:

Cafc Welcome back glad you had a good time. We were well looked after
Pippo Well done on the knickers and for taking on the responsibility of The Crown :eek:
Ciara Hope the website goes well I wouldn't know where to start so kudos to you
Bunny Don't worry your doing well so far :T I find coming on here and having to tell people really makes me think about what I'm doing
KittyKate Start on one thing and once your organised with that try something else. It does get easier.
Mustbefunny I agree with nickelodeon return it if you can if not sell on ebay you should be able to get back at least half for it.
Fac73 How are your bruises? How horrid of people to just walk past!
Kaz How are things with you and your friend ?
SF Did you find a dress in the end?

Will try and keep on track for the rest of this week. Hope everyone keeps doing ok.

PeachPickle

Aw kiwi, tonsilitis is awful isn't it? Hope you're feeling better soon

Hello and welcome to all the newcomers

I haven't spent any of this weeks £10 yet. I've spent money, but can claim it all back hurrah!

I'm looking on ebay at Casino Royale. but I'm not going to buy it. Nope.
