Thanks for keeping this going ETO and hi everybody!

I was a bit naughty (lets call it planning ahead!) and I transferred my £15 over and went to Tesco about 11pm last night so that I wouldn't have to go today. Turns out I am going again today, but to spend Mum's money rather than mine. :rotfl:

So far I'm up at:

£9.75/£15.00

but I wrote my list and stuck to it. It was a more expensive shop than normal because I had to get Marmite for the horse - I bought the last batch before xmas when it was on special offer! - and I have run out of cordial at work, so those two (mostly the marmite) were £6 of that shop.

Just wanted to add that for anybody reading and thinking they would like to join this thread but aren't sure - it's well worth it! This thread has really changed the way that I treat my money and although I'm still paying off debts (this is only my 3rd/4th week in this challenge) I am actually saving up for the things I want rather than just splurging. Personally I am working on my spending money rather than including bills etc, because that's what works for me and it was my impulse buying that was the problem rather than the cost of my bills/debts.

Come join the club

Sunday: magazine £3.70 icing sugar £1.18, chocolate £2.98, foil lined parchment £1.72

£9.58/£20.00

I also bought the jeggings for £12.50 but that's from my clothing budget (£50 a month)

Ended up doing a Victoria sponge for work and chocolate melting middle puds for home.

ETO thank you for all your hard work in running this challenge

This week is off to a fine start with my sister treating me to a trip to the cinema this morning to see Hitchcock, we both enjoyed it, I thought Anthony Hopkins was great as Alfred Hitchcock.

CAN I JOIN?
Thanks ETA for setting this up. I just found this post and would like to commit to spend under £30 this week. This thread will help me get more awareness of my everyday spending!
Thanks

I had a spend day but put it on husbands bank card so still have my £40 lol Ok maybe that was cheating a little, but it was only lunch box stuff for the kids, so took it from the joint account

Rest of the spends this week will be from my £40 budget so have to be good now.

Thanks for adding me
