Hi Guys!!

Sorry I'm a bit late joining in - had a manic bank holiday at work!! On the plus side, earned 15hours overtime over the weekend - so that'll boost the savings next month!!

Very chuffed to report a GREEN week last week - £0/£0 - feels like a big achievement having avoided the temptation for takeaways etc during long shifts at work! But I stuck to my guns and happy with the result!

So, just having a think about budget for this week... Sun and Mon were NSD as I pretty much did work, sleep, work! I need to get my hair cut this week but I think that's about it for personal spends... So, my budget this week will be £20 please ETO!!

Total so far: £0 / £20

Have a fantastic week money-savers!! Lots of love xxx

ShootForTheMoon - you were purple last week. as you had a zero spend week. Well done. I've never achieved that, and don't see it happening anytime soon.

Welcome back to those of you that have been AWOL.

Sun - £3.45 coffee and crisps. :eek:
Mon - NSD (kind of)
Tues - £7.77 2 x birthday cards (one for October) and a wedding card for end of sept. also bought small bag of classic thorntons chocs, when I opened them they had melted together. I was not happy. That'll teach me for buying them in the first place.

Total so far

£11.22 / £25

Managed to spend £24.76 today....most was groceries but, as I was spending anyway, I spent £3.50 on a few wee beers and 70p on crisps from machine at work :eek: This is the reason I need to properly decide what to count on this challenge and what to count as spendy days....

Good Morning to you all,

Quick update for yesterday, Started back at Aqua Jog really did enjoy it, but aching a little this morning.....

Had my first NSD of the week and not taking my purse to work today, so no temptation.

Have a great day everyone xx

I know the feeling MissE001, I took my purse into work yesterday, (silly girl I know) and they had reduced the dishwasher tablets from £5.50 to £1.38 and I could not resist as they where on my shopping list for next week...... and I got 4 packs....

So after my spends of £7.49 I have £2.51 to last me till tomorrow...

NSD! hurrah!

Been trying to contemplate how to complete the weekly savings challenge - going to have to cut back a bit more after january to be able to do it properly. Also I've been trying to predict the rough cost of my car insurance next year - but i don't know how to work it out ... am trying to save the same amount as it cost last year, anyway ...
