Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 25th August 2013

ShootForTheMoon

Wednesday was a NSD

Thursday: PAYDAY!! Got my haircut (£7) and spent £10 on the new Newton Faulkner album which I managed to get signed by the man himself for my brother's birthday! One very happy lad so I don't mind!

Tomorrow WILL be a NSD as I'm working 7-4 (taking B&L and lift sharing) and OH has plans for me up the allotment when I get home by the sound of things!!

So far: £17 / £20 not too bad!

Hope everyone's week is going well!!

Decided to get petrol and provisions tonigh for visit to my friend's house tomorrow - another £28.38 so now at £53.74!

Dress down day at work tomorrow will cost me £1 so as long as I don't spend any more, it'll be a green week *pretends it's likely that no more than £1 will be spent tomorrow*

splodgethefirst - have you tried getting a quote for your car insurance as if it's about to start and see if it's the same price as this year? I've been doing that for years - still pay it monthly but into my cannot-be-touched-budget money. It means that I actually pay the insurance in full every year from that budget. Also included in my cannot-be-touched-budget money is house insurance, road tax, car maintenance, specs, dentist, christmas and holiday spending money.

I actually hate withdrawing money to pay one of the aforementioned bills - saving and budgeting gets addictive :money: :j :money:

Well I didn't get my NSD today. Had to pick something up from B&Q for hubby. So I spent £1.25. Though to be fair he bought some bits needed for tea and for tomorrow. We're going to a friends 30th bday BBQ. So hubby bought some nice foody bits to take with us.

ETO - PHEW! I got worried and thought I was purple because I'd been REALLY naughty!!

I think I was only purple last week as I did 90+ hours at work and in between all I did was sleep!!! :rotfl:
Never mind, thinking of the overtime next month!!

Been another good week for me on the spend front - just the haircut and the Album for my little bro!

So £17 / £20 total and another GREEN week!! Yay! :j

Today will definitely be a NSD, full of a cold and spending the day at the allotment! B/L/D from stores and no spends coming out!

Loving this challenge, going to see if I can get OH on board for September!! Could be interesting!!

See you all in next week's thread gang!! :wave:
