  • Hello I am new here too. Please can I join you all. This weekend has been I think my LBM so I need to start as I mean to go on. I too have £20 in my purse but that has to last me until a week on Wednesday when I get paid! I think we have enough food in to make proper meals until then so will just need to update perishables next Saturday.

    I pledge a spend of £10 or less this week.

    I know I have Slimming World on Tuesday which is £4.95 but apart from that I don't think I need anything. I don't have much petrol but dh is cycling to work this week so said I can use his car which has 1/4 of a tank.
  • Hi everyone!

    Thanks ETO for starting us off again this week. I spent £3.40 last week so it's going well so far. Hope this week goes well too! I'm pledging £5.00 again this week.

    Good start with a NSD today :D

    Have a great week everyone!

    Cheers

    Hi Splodge - I can't update my signature either and I've noticed someone else mentioning it on another thread. There must be a general issue.
  • Morning gang, so I was very much RED last week, so this week I will be slightly more realistic and set £40 as my budget;

    Monday spent so far: £1.89 coffee and pastry (this will stop as of tomorrow as I will be back in my normal office)
    Tuesday: NSD
    Wednesday: potential hotel stay at work with cinema trip with hubby, saves fuel and allows for more sleep so commute cost neautral-ish, Orange Wednesday for cinema so only expenditure will be evening meal, will investigate vouchers
    Thursday: Breakfast & lunch spend
    Friday: NSD

    Have a good week everyone!
  • Sunday: NSD
    Monday: £15 on 3 DVDs. My hairdresser is poorly today so was cancelled, and no one else does a colour and cut on long hair as cheap as her! I also am now thinking of trying something different hair wise.
