Hello all.

You all seem to have much lower budgets than I do, eek!

I'm trying to spend no more than £80 a week on food, fun, clothes etc. My week runs from Saturday to Friday and I know you run from Sunday but hope you don't mind.

Hi His Missus,

My weekly budget is purely fun money. OH & I each get pocket money & all food, petrol etc comes out the joint account. I spend much more than this in a week but I can handle budgeting the joint account. It's the fun stuff I get carried away with!

No plans to spend tomorrow.

Monday: £42.81 "big shop"
Tuesday: £9.99 lunch with friends
Wednesday: £33.75 on curtains (2 sets) and a fruit bowl

£86.55/£50

I had budgeted to get the curtains next month, but the quality for the price I paid was too good to resist. And maybe I will get a lie in without the sun streaming through!

Morning everyone!

Yesterday was a planned spend day as was meeting a friend after work for drinks... however, we had such a nice evening - drinks turned into Pizza! I also treated myself and a friend at work to a bacon sarnie and a drink!

As a result I'm over budget for the week on spends, but still within budget for the month.

Food: £14.57/£15.00
Spends: £37.30/£10.00
Total Spends: £51.87/£25.00

:mad:

Plan: Handcuff self to table in my room so I can't go out and spend. Sorted.

Shopping this wk cost me £65 and we spent £15 on a day at the seaside this weekend. Making me £80/£80

However, I have to buy cakes for everyone at work on Thursday as it's my birthday (well I don't have to as such but I always celebrate other people's birthdays, I feel I should return the favour) so I'm going to go bust in my first week :eek:

Hubby bought the cakes with his "weekly spending money" as he wanted some change so he could pay his lottery subs at work. Tomorrow he's taking me out as a birthday treat so I won't need to spend tomorrow either so I'm finishing the week on:

£80/£80

I am on track this week!

£10 Amazon voucher that I've applied to my own account, won't get carried away spending on my kindle if I can see the total going down!
£10 Eyebrow wax
£5 Superdrug
£3 M&S on lunch

So I've spent £28/£50 so far! Yay!

Thursday: £17.95 drinks and meal at le pub. I'm loving 2pm finishes from work, just need to gain more willpower.

£104.50/£50

Heading to a barbecue tomorrow, and have all the bits I'm contributing in, so I won't be spending more.
