    Hi everyone, is it ok if I join in with this challenge? I'm really trying to keep my spending under control. I already save my £2 coins, I save the £1 coins too now (obsession I think). But I do tend to buy too many odds and ends over the course of a week which all add up. So, I'd love to join in please.

    Thanks for letting me join in. Today I bought 2 magazines which is a bit naughty but I love to read them in the bath. I'll read books instead from now on.

    So, I'm going to try to not spend another penny until I can take £10 out on monday, so I've caught up with the rest of you... does that sound ok?

    Hi MS, that sounds good to me!

    A while ago I realised that only did magazines when I felt bad. And even then if I bought them thought why have I paid this money for adverts????

    You can do it!!

    I agree pippo I do that too. I just looked through one that I bought today and wondered why I spent all that money to look at a dress for £1500 and a handbag for £1000. I guess my magazine lightbulb has just switched on.

    Well, my exam went okay. Not as good as I'd hoped, but it could have gone worse. Me and my friend treated ourselves for tea, so that's £4.93 spent there. Just finishing off another essay that's due tomorrow.. it never ends!

    slowly fading glad to hear the exam went ok.

    Well I'm not quite sure where its gone, but I've £7.70 left from the £10 note I started with on Monday. I guess it must be the sweets and junk food I buy at work :)
    We're probably moving offices in a few months time, to the middle of nowhere, so no shop, no cafe on site and I'll have to remember to take my lunch!!!
