The challenge is about incidental spending and not for stuff that should be budgeted elsewhere such as bills, groceries, debt repayment etc but you decide what to include at the end - this is about changing your habits and improving your recording of your spends more than anythng else.

Have a great week everyone and keep it low!!!

    Hi everybody,
    Am back from my holidays now, and ready to join in again!
    Can I go for £30 for this week - i know I have a birthday pressie to buy, am meeting up with friends, and have a cinema trip planned, so need more than my usual this week!

    Have had a NSD today
    Good luck one and all
  • Can I join in this week for the first time please? I think I'll try for £15.00. I just need to keep off the white zinfandel and the merrydown. Only spend today £8.36 (cheese and pringles from grocery budget, and a bottle of cider for me £1.99, and two cans super lager for hubby £2.80) I really must get him to give up the drink! lol.

    I failed miserably. I spent about £700 last week :eek:

    My laptop died and I bought a new one, I was cheesed off so bought a takeaway, and I have eaten masses of chocolate (which didn't come out of the grocery budget).

    Must try much harder this week so am going for £10 again.

    Good luck everyone x
