Hi LJ - Total spend last week was £43.00. And it was my first proper pay day on Friday - I have, so far avoided temptation on treats. :j :j
As it's a short week, I will aim at a £40 spend for this week.
So far I have spent £2.54 (tube of leather glue to repair broken shoe - £1.75 and a cappucino at Weatherspoons - 79p.)
Have I missed something - has Moozie posted?

Count me in for this week please.....did actually come in under budget last week - put the remainder in my holiday spending money pot!!!
This week's target is £40 - DS1 is off school, but I'm hoping not to spend TOO much!! He's got a birthday party tomorrow at Dudley Zoo - I've been given free entry:j but will need to pay for DS2 to get in. Will take a packed lunch & drinks though...so shouldn't be too bad!!!!;)20p Saver Club #33 60p/£100

Hi Lyns,
Thank you, once again, for continuing this challenge.
I have been a bit lax of late. But I have returned armed with a newly decorated spending Diary (decorated with pictures of money, Australia, New Zealand and houses), reminding me of why I'm not buying that Etruscan vase, (which looks like a magical dwelling place for forest folk), on a whim.
I am on the verge of making my final debt payment and beginning to save in earnest. So thus armed I am allowing myself £10 for incidental spending this week."Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it." (Montgomery, L.M.(1908). Anne of Green Gables.)
