Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 17th February 2013

Heya!

Beth - hope your Grandma gets well soon... Hugs!

Am determined not to go red this week... Am in budget... just!

£11.56/£11.66

Am in college all day tomorrow and taking a packed lunch, and Friday in work all day so there should be no needless spending!!!

One thing that is helping is I started a food plan (Eat, Fast and Live Longer) where for 2 days of the week I eat only 500 calories. On those days there is no motivation to spend as I live on home made soups/stews... so, I'm saving money but also losing weight. It's all good!

My 86 yr old Grandma has become really poorly and im so tempted to drive the £70 worth of petrol drive and 8 hours worth of driving to see her as i feel it may be my last chance. Why do these big chunk of money things happen when you have just used all your spare cash into getting rid of 1 debt! Wishing now i hadn't bothered paying Next off early

Hope you all have a good day. x

Ah I'm really sorry to hear your Grandma's not well. Don't beat yourself up about paying a debt off, you weren't to know your situation would change. Hope you get to see her soon.

Take care.

Hi all

Well bit of a disastrous day today on the spends front, well I wasn't going to spend the money from not going out for tea last night... Well I sort of have... Oooops.

Needed some fruit for work, so knew I'd spend a little, well that was £1.78,but because I knew I wouldn't like the dessert at work I treated myself to a creme egg. 60p flipping eck, picked it up but hadn't checked the price. :eek: so that was £2.38 before work.

Had to get dry bunny food this evening so that was another £4.99

Then on way home needed bread for tea, however....
£3.93 later, and brioche, cake and custard...

I'm Skint.

£11.30 spent today. Bugga. And was actually planning on changing my budget to £15.

Yay! Haven't spent anything so far this week.
Monday: NSD
Tuesday: NSD
Wednesday: NSD
Thursday: Gonna be a NSD!
Friday: Nothing planned
Saturday: All out party night. (We will be pre-drinking at home so that means less money spent in the expensive bars and probably walking home to save on that taxi fare (weather permitting))

Update: No Spend at all so far!
The end of the week will be my downfall....

I hope that you do make it to see your gran Beth and that she's feeling better soon.

I was naughty today - don't worry I'm still within limits! - but I spent £1 on chocolate.

However the person that I bought the velcro from refunded me £2.29 which I'm assuming is against the postage so that's good!

£9.56/£15 (+£15)

NSD today :j:j

Tomorrow not looking so good :eek:

Budding Picasso cafe - so paint a pot or decopatch ???

Weekend - quiet and little or no spends hopefully

MissE001

Spent £1.60 on a coffee this evening while waiting for DD do her rehearsals - I thought investing the £1.60 would be more MSE than driving the 15 miles home then back again to pick her up :cool:

Also had to buy a single onion (DD stopped me from buying more things at Mr T - she's getting the bug too!) but that 15p comes out of grocery budget so not counting it here

Still on target with £3.35 / £5

May be a bit ambitious to spend less than £1.65 before Saturday....watch this space :A
