Does this include money on bills and groceries that are already budgetted for or is this like a "personal spend" on top?

If its for everything I would like to put down £215 (rent, groceries, water, tv licence, bill repayments etc)


If its just a "personal spend" on top of the budgeted bills id like to put down £5.

It's up to you.

I keep my bills separate, and then the money that I use in this challenge is set aside for non-budgeted spend like treats and extras from the supermarket.

Some people do it with everything included.

Thank you for clearing that up. It's the first time I've taken part in any challenges.

Please put me down for £5.

Thanks for the thread.

Need to work out last weeks spend amount (like a bear with a sorehead today - silly cheap wine)

Can I pledge £30 this week please?

:hello:hi everyone.

Been AWOL for a while due to work, illness etc. but I'm back now and with more money a week leftover than I initially planned for :j

So can I be put down for £28.00 a week for the foreseeable future please. I don't expect to spend that much but that is my top end budget.

Thanks,

Hi everyone, I haven't done this for a couple of weeks but would like to rejoin for this week I woud like to have 50.00 for my spend ( or less )

Welcome along to the newbies, and welcome back to everyone else.

Well I have managed to scrape together £40 for my budget. However £20 is for petrol and £20 for spends and supposed to be going for tea on Tuesday.

Now I have just had to buy sawdust, dry food and some treats for bunny = £16.26 Ooops. That leaves me £3.74 for the rest of the week including tea. That just isn't going to happen. So I'm am going to be red this week and it is only day 1 of the challenge. :eek:

Oh well payday on weds.

Absolutely shocking start to my £30 limit for the week.

I needed some groceries and toiletries as did my partner (who has just started a new job and has to wait over a month for payday) so I spent:-

£6.13 in B&M,
£7.81 in Tesco,

I then realised I hadn't done any washing this week so I had no clean underway... Hence a further £5 for a pack of 5 knickers from Morrisons and then £10.00 on petrol which I'm hopeful will last me until next Saturday.

£28.94 / £30.00

Definitely going to be struggling but I'm going to head to ASDA Monday night for reduced to clear vege (bought 2 x broccoli, cabbage, 2 x Spring Greens and Curly Kale for £0.60)... I have 3 bunnies of my own and a foster bunny.

I CAN do this.
