    Today has been a NSD which is a good start :)
    Thank you competition posters!
  • New to the forum, very happy to be here! Lots of debt to clear so I can look to then buying a house and all that life stuff with my wonderful fianc!e :D. Got my monthly payments set up but want to speed it up with weekly savings, so this thread is perfect!

    Anyway, enough rambling-

    Sun- £20 petrol
    Mon- Lunch £3, Cat food £5, After work social £20
    Tues- Lunch £3, house bits and bobs £10
    Wed - Lunch £3
    Thurs- Lunch £3
    Fri- Lunch£3

    So £70 is my opening gambit- hoping to reduce this more and more as the weeks go on!

    Sunday was a NSD:). I'm hoping today will be too. Since I managed to stay in the green last week, I decided to put the difference into my VSP to help that along. (I started the. VSP challenge late). Thanks to the poster that suggested doing something like that in an earlier thread.

    Good luck everyone!

    Evening everyone!

    Planned for a NSD today but ended up spending 67p on a tea at the canteen at work - had to work away and the office we were in was ice cold and my feet were like blocks of ice! So had to buy a brew to warm up - will plan ahead next time and make sure I take a flask of tea with me!!
    So spend so far is £40.67/£58

    :D
