    hey iwanttobreakfree, welcome to the challenge. You set your own boundaries about necessary or unnecessary really, but if you can make lunch at home and take it rather than buying it in, it's generally an unecessary to come out of your budget. Up to you tho :)

    In other news... I bought 3 books today. Do I care? No. It was distraction spending and I know it. Seems I may be single once more... :( Ah well. Who needs men anyway. :confused:

    This looks perfect for me! :T

    What do you do with any carried over money? Do you carry it around with the new tenner or put it away somewhere for a rainy/special week? Sorry if it's been discussed. It would take me ages to go through every post!

    I will start with £10 tomorrow as Monday seems a good day for me. That's if you don't mind another recruit of course?

    Glad you found your way over here. I posted on your thread earlier and this is where my inspiration for my £10 pocket money came from.

    Good luck

    Hi bestpud, welcome to the challenge :) What you do with the leftover from the £10 is up to you!

    Thanks peachpickle.

    I realise it is up to me what I do and my inclination is to save it in a jar but I always find it interesting to see what others do - new ideas and all that.

    I have my nice crisp £10 note this morning and I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.

    What on earth is one of them. Yet to achieve the heady heights of a NSD.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: .

    Must be difficult as where you are in Kent must be the most expensive in the SE. Well done :T :T
