Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 23rd December 2012

mumlady1

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great Christmas. I'd love to join you if you don't mind
I'm not great at budgeting but I'm really going to try to get sorted this year. I'm pitching my misc spending at £15 per week. I'd love to
Get groceries down to £100 per week or less but we'll see. Hopefully being part of this group will help me get my wasteful spending under control!

Welcome along mumlady1. :wave:

You are quite welcome to join for the rest of the week, if not i will be posting a new thread on sat/ sun for next week. People will start posting their final weekly spends over the next couple of days and letting me know what their budget will be for next week. So whatever works best for you.

First week on the challenge and Im over budget! It was always going to be hard (despite Christmas day) because its DS's birthday on boxing day so we always take him out somewhere to make sure its a 'different' day for him than just a re-run of Christmas. I didnt add this to the budget and tried to stick to the usual weekly amount - never mind, wasnt a huge overspend, and my new week starts today (although will post amount on the new thread on Sunday).

Spends for this week came in at £120/£150

Groceries: £16.73 / £20
Misc: £0 / £10
Total: £17.67 / £30

So .... just a pack of crumpets to add since the last spend (I did buy these in the big shop but they were hard - turned out the pack was ripped:mad:)

1st week ever that I've not spent anything on the Misc front :T (although a pack of cookies did make it in with the groceries :rotfl:)

Will put it in the emergency cash purse (which is currently empty:o) and start trying to rebuild that a bit.

Hi everyone

Thurs ~ NSD (Free Starbucks promotion!) Jippee!
Fri ~ £ 4.67 in Boots on cough mixture!

That's a spend of £ 4.67 this week. Am really pleased. Would have been better if the stupid cough didn't keep me awake at night, but hey ho ;o)

Will allocate £10.00 again next week.
Will have a purple week lol!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Cheers
