Woohoo managed a NSD today thanks to hubby buying the drinks from his pocket money budget:)

Have to pick DD up from sleepover tomorrow but should be able to do that without spending.

So all being well my total for the week will be.......
£59.15/£60

Woohoo NSD again today so total stands. Best get thinking about next week.

Thanks to ever the optimist for organising this challenge. I'm kinda enjoying it. It's certainly making me think about the money that usually gets frittered away on stuff and unhealthy snacking! And how those sneaky Soopermarkets get extra pennies from your purse.:(. But not anymore from this call sign!:T:T

Hi all

My week so far.

Sun - mil visiting and then visiting my parents NSD - NSD :j
Mon- Seeing a friend and her baba for a walk and lunch - £10, and then going to a camera club (set up by a friend) £2 subs (for the room) Petrol spend but budgeted elsewhere - didn't see friend as baba teething and suffering. £4 spent last night on subs and parking.
Tues - no plans - NSD - oooops 50p spent on choccie bar as I was thinking I'd had a NSD yesterday. But in my defence I'm also giving it up for lent so was my last treat.
Weds - Baby group - NSD (possible breed and milk top up - grocery budget) NSD and no top up today.
Thurs - Seeing a friend and her baba for coffee, possibly a soft play type thing for the babas - £10 - friend came to us so needed biscuits and drink selection etc. - £6.17 (and bread and milk top up £1.89, not this budget)
Fri - Baby group - NSD from this budget, but we decided to have curry for tea so bought some bits to go with it from my grocery budget
Sat - hair appt (budgeted) otherwise NSD - car parking £2.70

£3 contingency

Total - £13.37/ £25
