Evening everyone,

NSD today thankfully. Just got to keep tomorrows spends to a minimum now. Not sure how I will manage that.

I was informed a few weeks ago that work are giving everyone a pay rise this year, didn't get one last year and the year before was based on performance.

Just found out I am going to be getting £50 a month more. pleased with that. Especially as it comes into force in April as I go on maternity. So will get more even though I won't be there. Can't argue with that.

Hi all, have been lurking for a while and thought time to pipe up (had a NSD so feeling :-) ). I'm not setting a target on here as I have an insanely complicated range of budgets for different things at the mo. I just need to stick to them. :-s Not doing too badly so far this month, altho it's going to be tight as I helped out a family member with some cash so need to keep belt very tight! Loving this thread for keeping me motivated :-)

MissE001

Oh no - went over budget by £17.10 :doh:

Working away is always a challenge - so easy to get tempted to socialise with colleagues. On the plus side, I had a lovely time catching up with people I don't see very often :beer:
£75/£92.10

I'll be back tomorrow with my pledge for next week - and determined to keep my pledge!

Thanks for the motivation on this thread.....I almost didn't post because I went over and that would not be a good way to go
