    Hi pap and anyone else ;)
    Last week my budget went WAAAYYY over the £50 I'd allowed - about £80 :o (I stopped counting).
    This week will be VERY tight, so will budget £20
    DMP starts June 2012, £38,180.

    Balance June 2015 £26,046 (paid off 32%)

    Hiya All,

    I have £7.50 in my wallet and I shalt not spend more than this between now and Friday. Need to get new house key cut as hubby has lost mine. I think in tesco's actually. May try and call them first see if anyone has handed one in.
  • Hi PAP and everyone

    Please put me down for £6.00 this week, that's all I've got so it's going to have to be enough. Don't need anything that I can think of, so it should go well.

    *PAPS thanx so much for starting this again, I used to enjoy the challenge so much and it really motivated me so much.*

    Thanx

    Hi guys and gals, I need to get back into this challenge, so this week I will aim to spend no more than £5 on "spends". This is going to be mainly chocolate and coffee, and I really need to cut back on the chocolate so perhaps this will be the incentive I need.

    Have a good week everyone xx

  • Hi PAP

    Just remembered that I have a prescription to fill, but as that's £6. something that I don't have will have to keep that money towards it for next week, so definately an incentive not to spend the £6.00 lol! PS before anyone worries, it's not an urgent prescription, it can wait a week lol!

    Hi all, I missed this thread but next week I will certainly get involved again. I have been keeping my spending diary and have noticed that I have fallen back into bad habits with takeaway snacks and drinks.

    Back to the good ol days of 10 quid budget ;)
