Hi everyone,
This weeks going pretty well, with a couple of no spend days!
I have spent £3 on presents, but that will come from the christmas budget so all budgeted for. I did spend £1 unnecessarily at work so I'll deduct that.
So that's £8/15 spent, £7 remaining....Starting 2016 debt-free
Emergency Fund: £350/£10000 -
Doing well Aphidgirl
I've spent most of my remaining money today on a birthday card and lunch - £5.49, so that leaves me with just £1.63...

I've spent some of next week's on swimming for daughter as I had no budget left after the driving!
Should cope for the rest of the week though, and it's only 2 days early as my week starts on Saturday

Damn I blew the budget! Had £7 left, but spent £15 in the (very cheap) supermarket. It was a pair of walking boots that did it. I got them for £8. I needed a pair and at that price couldn't resist! So would have been on target if not for them....oh well!
So I'm declaring £23/15 - £8 over. Will have to tighten the purse strings next week to make up for it....Starting 2016 debt-free
