I can't decide if I'm really bad at budgeting or just really optimistic about how my weeks will go...

I have £18 left in my purse and my meal tonight will cost at least £30. Bah!

I'm def red, and I don't even know where to start with my spends this week.

I know I had another couple of £8 ish spends. Although actually today's been a NSD for this challenge/ budget. Did a food shop today and used £110 worth of sains points, so shopping only cost £11. :j We have been saving the points all year though.

Will try and get next weeks thread running first thing tomorrow as we have a lot on during the day, actually when I say first thing, it'll be morning sometime.

Hope everyone's well. I love Xmas but I'll be glad when everything's calmed in January.

Hi everyone!

Wow! This xmas thing definitely sucks lol! Had a night out (planned on Thursday) so that went well. Couldn't drink much as I was working the next day so only had 2 glasses of complimentary red wine that came with our meal, but then I had an unexpected night out with some friends I haven't seen in ages on Friday night and there went £20.00 so I'm afraid that's £15.00 over my planned budget for the week! Urgh!

So I'd like to declare a £20.00 spend for this week which puts me firmly in the red! I'd like to pledge £5.00 for next week as I'm hiding at home and spending xmas and boxing day at home, in bed, eating loads and watching telly (read Doctor Who) lol!

Hope you all have an amazing xmas and a fabulous money saving 2014!

Cheers
Casper
