Hi LJ - and Moozie (if she's watching)
Please put me down for £40.00 this week, as still away working and have to pay for the little things I've been taking for granted - such as coffees, lunchtime snacks (which I used to make at home).
At the moment my B&B is paid for, along with evening meals, but one evening a week the people I'm working with like to go for a couple of drinks. All very MSE - usually Wetherspoons, followed by a carvery or pizza. :beer:
I'll try to do better with my spending diary this week, as well.:rolleyes:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Hi all
My budget for last week was £95 and I spent £69.77 :beer:
This week's budget is £190 broken down as follows:
£25 food (Did the shop today and spent £33.99, so the £8.99 overspend comes out of last week's underspend, and £25 out of this week's budget)
£25 petrol
£10 unecessary spend
£20 Xmas savings
£100 MOT (I need 2 new tyres plus the test fee, have allowed £100 but if any more I have some money stashed away that should *fingers crossed* cover it)
TOTAL BUDGET CHALLENGE: £180

Hi all,
I kept within the £50 budgeted spend.
Total £27.96 (includes £20 mobile top up) + some things under £5 (but can't find receipt).
I think I will lower this to £45 this week.
So far have spent £2.99 today.

Hi All - have had to pay out for physio on my back, so I think I'm dropping out of this challenge until I'm back on my feet as it were! Certainly more than the £10 I'd allowed for the week. Sorry!Resolution:
