Good afternoon lovely DFWs

Now for anyone looking in, please feel free to join - the more the merrier! Basically, decide on the amount you want to spend up to from Sunday until the end of the working day on Friday then pledge it here and off we go! 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 Moozie,

This is my first time doing the weekly challenge! I aim to spend £0 until Friday! I have done my weekly shop and have my pack lunches for the week and my petrol to get to work so anything else is not necessary! I dont think I have EVER gone 6 days without spending (hence the huge debt I have) but am determined to get my spending down to the bare min.

Good luck all xx

well, I kept to my £15 budget (mainly cause it was all I had!) and have £1.57 left, which I'm rolling over into this weeks £40 budget... I'm going *mad* :rolleyes: cause its payday, and I need a haircut!

I'm red again, I spent £49 Am finding it very helpful including everything in my total though, as it's giving me a much better idea of where the money goes. Am still within total budget for the month at least, but will have to be careful for the next couple of weeks. Target for this week £16, as that's what I've got in my purse!

Gemmzie

Nothing all week How good is that! The only money I've spent out is being returned to me

I have £90 for the month so £15 per week for September

Morning PaP - you didn't mention my name in your opening post. :sad: :sad: :sad:

I put myself down for £20.00 and only spent £8.67.

I'm going to try to do the same this week, so can you put me down for £20.00 again, please.

Morning (oh... good afternoon, rather )

I am having another NSD today as I'll be stuck in the loft sorting out what needs packing and what needs recycling, charity-shopping, or throwing away.

I've started the weekly challenge before but not kept track of my spends, well with moving house money is going to be tight so I need to have a bit more discipline.

That said I'll allow myself £60 this week as there are baby bits to buy and probably things we're going to need in the new house that I haven't thought of yet. I've got plenty of vouchers though at the moment, for John Lewis, Boots, and Amazon so I'll try and keep well within my limit

Please put me down for £10, £5 of this will be new school trousers. I am getting my food shopping today and have filled up with petrol I need. I am on a course tomorrow so get a free buffet! I am going out on Thursday evening but will spend no more than approx £4.00 There should be no need to spend any extra money this week.
