    Hi all!

    £15 for me this week please.

    I'm going to try and be better behaved because I want to save up for something, but also I have a few extra bills in February so the less I overspend in other areas the better. :)

    Sunday - NSD

    Only just spotted this thread so can I just do a 5 day plan this week
    I'm hoping for 3 nsd's and 1 day with a £6 slimming world spend. The other day will be an expensive one as I have a family birthday - but budgetted for. I have already shopped so will have to use what I have in.

    Now I've committed I'll HAVE to do it ;)

    Sun - NSD
    Mon - NSD
    Tue - £54.17 groceries which I've already ordered to collect tomorrow purely just to cut down on the spending cos I always spend a fortune in the supermarket but ordering online meant I couldn't roam around every shelf in every aisle and I only bought what we needed!


    So spend so far is.....
    £54.17/£100


    So far so good but it is only Monday :-)
    GC- June £0/£150
