    Pleased with my week so far. Do need a couple of bits tomorrow. But hopefully less than £6 worth to keep me green. So not quite declaring yet. And really pleased that the grocery shop I did on Sunday has lasted too.

    Hi everyone!

    Good to see how everyone is doing...

    Well - after setting myself a zero spend challenge for the week... I had fish and chips last Saturday... which although it's a free day - that money has to come from somewhere... Meh! That was my only spend from my food budget though so am impressed there!

    So RED week £6.55/£0.00

    Am going to do a 2 week food shop tomorrow, and have an en evening out for a meal, so...

    For W/C 03rd March I'm pledging: £60.00

    Sorry I haven't really contributed this week too... Will try and check in more. Have a great weekend!!!

    Boo. But then not a massive overspend I suppose. I blame Starbucks and their extortionate sandwich prices!

    Next week I would like to pledge £20 again. Thank you :)

    Thought I'd pledged £5 this week and gone over budget....so glad I had a sensible head on when pledging this week and am on track :j

    £10.47 / £20

     Counting tomorrow as well so final figure to be posted then (might need to pay the man who cleans my bins tonight...which reminds me that I may need to start cleaning my own bins!!)
