Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 4th August 2013

EverTheOptimist

Welcome along Yorkshire_Pudding. :wave: Good luck with your budget. Report back as little or as often as works for you.

2 NSD's so far this week, ( for this challenge anyway) although a small grocery spend today.

Taking baby ETO for 12 week jabs tomorrow. It's not going to be pretty. Bless him

Hey splodgethefirst. I have done and am doing the rounding down of accounts but for savings not debt. and I agree I definitely don't miss it from my main account. And it's amazing how it builds up.

I'm in my last week of silly amounts of spending (I hope!) and feels a bit indulgent posting my budget for the week....on the plus side, it is money I've put aside and if I post here, it will be awful if I overspend...

So, Sunday - takeaway with the family £20
Monday - expected spend as had day off work to spend with DD - unexpected NSD...
Tue - DDs exam results so going out for lunch (my treat for DS and DD) so probably about £40-£50 :eek: . And I'll probably buy a card, gift and birthday pressie for my sis so overall spend on Tuesday may be high....
Wednesday - hoping for NSD
Thursday -working away £5 budgeted
Friday - working away and birthday "extras"- £15
Saturday - feels like a long way away

And I'll need to get food and petrol at some point. Think it might be about £240 :eek::eek: On the plus side, the exam and birthday spending are budgeted for in one of my virtual pots (£200 budgeted) so it's really only £40 from my "real" money. Does that make any sense at all :rotfl:

Had a bid spending day yesterday, didn't really mean to! Spent £20 on stationary for college, had originally budgeted £25 for it all, and I still have more to get!

As for my £20 for this week I've already managed to spend:
£4.73 in M&S on a sandwich and juice
0.89p on a birthday card
£6 in Thorntons

£11.62/£20

Hi everyone!

Thanks ETO for starting us off again and sorry I haven't been on to update my totals, it's been hectic around here.

Last week I managed a spend of £6.41 and I'd like to pledge £8.00 again this week. I'm really sorry I'm late. I managed a NSD on Sunday and Monday so far this week.

Have a great week everyone!

Cheers
Casper

Morning,

I'm late this week, it's been a pretty busy weekend! Working for free at Mr Weasley's business It'll be worth it though, we've booked a trip to New York! Not come out of last week's budget thankfully It was still a red week though, spent £55 after an accidental trip to Krispy Kreme in Edinburgh, who knew you had to buy the donuts by the dozen.

This week's budget is £30, no donuts for me this week.

FionaWeasley - I had you down for a budget of £60 and you're saying you spent £55 which makes you green.

Tink - just noticed your sig. Well done on the £2013 in 2013, already achieved. How did you do that?

EverTheOptimist

Took the little man for his immunisations and didn't think I'd be able to make lunch when we got home so just picked something up. So small spend today.

So far

Sun - NSD :j
Mon - NSD :j
Tues - £3 lunch.

£3 / £20
