Afternoon all I took the kids out again and spent £8 in Tesco on Sandwich bits.
I have already accounted for the £6 my girls need for their school trip tomorrow from last weeks money, so thats all good. I am trying to think if there is something i 100% have to pay for. Think i have a week off from the school needing money.

I am thinking of treating myself to the Vibration plates this week. They are £20 for 25 sessions. But my diet is non existant at the moment and feel me paying for something like this may help keep my motivated till my holiday in May. This £20 should last me a good 5 weeks at least

Anyways totals so far -

Sun - £8 Sandwich stuff for the week.

£8/£60

Hi all,
I'd love to join you in this challenge, I need to sort out my day to day spending and this might just work especially as ill be reporting back to other people
I'd like to set my budget at £100 to start with then hopefully I can reduce this slightly each week (to a point).

Hi can I join in with you please my general spending is being pushed to the limits at mo and really close to being debt free so feel watching my pennies could help bigtime i've counted what's in my purse and have nothing I really need to pay for out of the bank so my total is 11.45 until saturday.

Evening all

Welcome along to Nikki25 and karens42. :wave:

Good luck with the challenge. It definitely helps me to focus because I am coming back and reporting to others. But I also am quite competitive with myself and am always desperate to stay under budget.

Thanks for the thread ETO!

Hope everyone has a good week this week

May I pledge £50 for the week please- I have a gig next weekend with lots of meet ups during the week so this one is going to be tough.

My friends are actually like buses. I can go for weeks without seeing them, then 4 of 5 different groups of them arrange meeting during the same week. Chuffing annoying really!
