Hiya girls, Thanks for adding me again ETO I spent more than i hoped last night and even came back sober think its because i knew i had the 3 kids alone today as husband is at work lol.

I have a few bigger bits i need to buy this week, Like 2 World book day costumes Grrr! Filling my car with petrol which will be around £55 And £10 for the 2 girls to go on a school trip! I have decided these aren't going to be added into this weeks budget as i 100% know they have to be done.

So for all the random spending i would like to budget £60 please

Oh dear, I now wish that I had counted yesterday into my week. I managed to spend £63. Yes £63. But on the bright side me and OH will be seeing Jimmy Carr and Derren Brown in the upcoming months.
You only live once I suppose.
Really up for the challenge this week! Good luck to everyone!!

Hope u have a lovely week with your husband. Glad he's okay, ETO, enjoy!

Hi everyone

Well, I have been and bought my lunch for work this week. I spent £10.49, which was 49p more than I was supposed to spend. I bought a notebook which was reduced to £2.49, otherwise I would have only spent £8.

total for me = £10.49/£50.00

Hope everyone is OK

Hi all and thanks ETO!

Last week was green at £8.57/£15.00 - I spent £2 on a bacon buttie yesterday morning whilst at work. :rotfl:

Pledging £15 again this week but it will be tough because:

I've already spent £14.30! I spent 50p at the car boot and then the rest at the supermarkets - my usual shop plus £3 on chocolate and then £4 on a reduced lamb joint to have for tea. I've been trying to justify it to myself but lets just say it had better be tasty!

I do have more money than this in my "spending pot" because I have the leftovers from previous challenges and any money I've made. I do plan on using some of that (there's an item I've been saving up for) but I think I'll aim to raise some more this week as well.

Afternoon all

Well have spent £10 on lunch, planned spend, £25 on petrol planned spend. And £29.75 on groceries, planned spend.

This means £30 left in my weekly spends but only 25p for groceries. So hoping I have enough to get through the week.

Right off to do the housework. Booooo. :eek:

Well today i took in 3 bags full of clothes to the clothes bank for 50p a kilo, Could of got alot more on Ebay but tbh sick of seeing it all now. So Made £12 at the start of the week was handy!

I spent £8.50 in Tesco getting school sandwich bits for the kids and a little treat for them.
And i have put £4.50 away in a tub for my husbands lunch money for this next week. Saves him raiding my purse each day lol

Sun - £1/£60 (used the £12 made today for most of this)
