Hi everyone x
Please can I join in. I have been lurking for a few weeks and really need to bring down our weekly spending.
I will pledge £80 please
This sounds a lot but me and my husband week in week out over spends our amount allocated for the week so let's see if I can hopefully start to bring this down.

Thankyou

I think I forgot I was doing the challenge last week so no total to report as I didn't think to keep a note of my spends or work out whether lunch/grocery spends were coming out of the budget. Strictly speaking the budget was blown as I went in d&ben8ams yesterday and spent £36 plus train fare/lunch out/coffee/cake etc......

This week I would like to set a budget of £100. That's for everything ! (all groceries/misc spends/bus fare/slimming world/lunches etc) so I hope to come in well under budget !

Not a great start to the week x
Had to nip and pick up some household items we were running out of in the house. Shouldnt need to go the shops for rest of week as already had weekly shop delivered.

Gillette razorblades £10
8 cans of coke £3.85 (bogof)
Lunch out £9.00
Washing powder £10 (2 boxes x 32 tablets surf)
Toilet rolls £2.85 (9 rolls)
Lynx - £2

=£37.70/£80
Wow easy how it adds up x

Sun - NSD :j
Mon - NSD :j
Tues - Xmas shopping poss inc lunch so £20 for lunch
Weds - baby group - NSD
Thurs - baby group then lunch - £15
Fri - baby group, poss car parking £2
Sat - NSD

So will go for £40

Not going Xmas shopping now as the few items I still need I'm not certain of and didn't want to just go window shopping. So my sister is coming to me for lunch instead. Will need to buy few bits, but hopefully cheaper than going out for lunch.

Hi all

Oh I can't believe I've missed the start of this thread - where did yesterday go:). I would like to go for £44.20 I know this is a bit of a random number but it's what I have in my purse. I'm hoping to stretch this out to pay day next week.

Sun - NSD
Mon - £2.07

Total - £2.07/£44.20

Really craving chocolate today. I don't know what all these people who say having a hot chocolate takes the cravings away are thinking, it really doesn't!
