Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 20th January 2013

i failed mine today! popped to the shop to pick up some milk... was literally in there for a minute (grabbed off shelf and straight to the empty self checkouts) came back and found 2 parking attendants writing out tickets and they’d already got to mine! (i was double parked...) so there goes 35 quid lol... but at 8.30pm on a thursday.... really??

it’s kinda annoying because they built some new aprtments with a sainsburys underneath, there’s a tesco round the corner.... limited spaces outside sainsburys that you have to spend 3 quid for... and the car park round the corner also charges... all for a pint of milk!?!?! oh well i guess the car parks are cheaper than the fines!

45.00 / 20.00

Caz - Oh dear at least you made a bit back towards it x

Thurs - Went to Mr T's and bought milk, tiger rolls, newspaper, mango (reduced), yogurt, carrots (on offer at £1.00 a bag), onions (also on offer at £1.00 a bag), celery (reduced), coriander (reduced ) and crème fraiche. £8.13 spent (£1.87 put in savings pot)

Total for week - £31.29/£70.00 (£43.71 put into savings but £5.00 of that was not part of budget due to it being change from a planned spend)

Will be back on Sunday and would like to pledge £70.00 again.

Have a good weekend and will see you all Sunday xxx

Well at the end of Friday I still have £14.54 left of my £20 as I spent 88p today over my mystery shopping budget so won't get that bit back. VERY happy, but just need to do this every week! :eek:

Hi All,

Am so glad it's weekend... Great week though and managed more NSD's than Spend Days...

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Righty ho, managed a NSD yesterday but have spent £3 on the irish lotto today and my hubby spent £8 on a buttonhole for a funeral. Which brings my total to £73/£100 so unless i blow £27 in the next 4 hours then i am officially GREEN

Pledging £100 for next week again, want to start the month off well and keep this habit going as i have never had this much money spare this close to payday EVER!! With the money i expect to have left at the month end i'm hoping to pay another card account off so i am staying motivated!!

Congrats on the NSD rising

And congrats on the green weeks that are coming through.

I had a NSD today. :j

Not declaring until tomorrow either. I always spend on a Saturday. And expecting to spend tomorrow too. Will be getting a newspaper and bread. Got approx £19 left but £15 was allocated to the cinema and as I didn't go I've kept that to one side. So approx £4 available for spending tomorrow.
