ok, i have more left on my Uneccessary challange than I do on my monthly one.
Also I am not sure when to start my weeks from.
Do I do them Monday - Sunday or how the month began with a Tuesday- Monday (1-7, 8-14 etc) or from when I get paid which is normally Wednesday+Thursdays so a Wednesday-Tuesday week, but I did get my CB on the 1st so that was a tuesday. HELP ME FIGURE MY WEEKS OUT PLEASESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.:o

hi penny, this is one of the problems I find with the challenge too, I get paid on a friday on a 4,4,5 week rota. I do my main budget from one payday to the next. Luckily because this works out 'roughly' enough for the sunday to friday challenge (I normally don't take money out on payday anyway) it's not too bad.
i guess it's down to you to decide which way is best for you, if it's from payday to payday, or sunday to friday (if you can hold off taking money out till then) etc it's whatever works best for you.
sorry that wasn't much help was it???0 -
Here is my maths.
£2.00 in saving tub
Leaving me with £3.69 till the 9th.
total £5.69
£5.23 remaining according to my Unnecessary challenge(does not take account of the £2 that just went into pot)
46p left extra till the 9th.
Also think since I got paid on the 1st this month, will do it 1st to 7th, which means changing my meal plans for weekly shops, as I have the start of next weeks already in now..lol.19th March 2007 LBM£5,969.63 1st January 2018 £5960.18, 1st January 2019 £11,032.0018th August 2023 £12,435.00, Student Loan £22244.00 From 2009-12Challenges: To learn to stop spending..0 -
Sounds like a good plan!Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0
