My son has been invited to a party today, so had to put £5 in a card for the little one. That was all that was spent today.

Confused about where it puts me though with the profit from selling lol

£5/£25

Plus £35 up from Ebay sales.

Yesterday was a spendy day for me and blew my budget

I spent £9.47 in new l00k - i bought skinny jeans, a peplum top and some hair accessories. The accessories were bogof, jeans were 25% off and I had a £10 off voucher so the spend isnt too bad for £26 worth of stuff!

I then went out for a curry with friends and spent £10. Again not too bad as I only had poppadoms for my starter, a smaller main (never eat it all anyway as its all about the naan bread for me :rotfl:) and it was byob.

Today is a NSD and tomorrow will be as i refuse to spend more, seeing as its already a red week for me!

Declaring at £19.47/£5

Made it!!!

Checking in GREEN with a balance of £11.56/£11.66

Next week's pledge is for a ZERO spend week!!!

I get paid next week, so will pay all my big budget items, but am going to see if I can make it through until Friday without buying anything. Am out after work on Friday in the evening but will deduct that from the week afters budget.

Still at £0.00/£5.00 - really pleased with myself that I made it the whole working week without spending

Evening all

£2.50 spent today on car parking at the hospital. It was a 0-3 hour ticket, which frustratingly I was only there for 25 mins. I also desperately tried to give it away on my way out but there was absolutely no one to give the ticket to. So I feel even more hard done by as I wasn't able to help anyone else.

So currently at £13.80 / £15 so far so good.

I failed this week. I was OK on Monday, tuesday and Wednesday but had a chinese takeaway last night and went to the cafe for breakfast this morning.

I will try to be better next week if I do't get chucked out of the challenge
