    Good Luck for your interview on Tues Rog x

  • I spent £89.44 this week - more than I expected to but most of it was necessary (apart from eating out :o)

    I'll give myself £70 this week as I've still got a list of bits and pieces to pick up for the baby and the house, I'll try to do better :)
  • Managed to stay under (just!) and spend £15.86 last week. Will go for £15 for this week.. today should be a NSD as I don't really feel like doing anything much.

    Jacks, have you sent off for any of the freebie lipglosses from the Freebies forum, I think there's still one or two running at the moment (or does it have to be lipstick?). Must admit lip 'stuff' is one of my weaknesses, as the collection in my handbag testifies, but I've had two or three free lipglosses from various sites which have actually been very good!

  • Hi all.:hello:
    I didn't do this challenge last week, as I was away for the weekend. I then went away again until Friday - just as well I wasn't in the challenge. I'm not even telling you how much I think I spent. I didn't keep my spending diary, but I withdrew £300 from bank on Sat 1st, and I have £145 left. I know I spent more than that, but the difference was hubby's money:j,oh he is a good man.

    But I'm back now, more committed and back on track, so I'll say £10.00 this week. It all comes out of my monthly spend of £300, anyway, but that budget is going to have to stretch a bit for the rest of this month now.
    I didn't quite manage last month..... but if at first you only succeed - go see the dentist!

    £15 again this week, oh no wait, going to Bristol shopping for the first time ever (any tips guys? where to go or not to go?) So.... £30?

    wave2.gif hi gem, my home town... woohoo... the centre is all being rebuilt at present so most of tge shops isnt there but its nice to have a gander around there. Glouster road is a must if you like all the itty bitty shops and bargain shops. The mall @ cribbs causeway http://www.mallcribbs.com/ is a must (feet away from where i work) it has everything there although on weekends its packed. Plenty of places to eat there too... boots always have sale items as does essentials ;) hobby craft and tkmaxx is close by too so great for bargains/crafty things. Depending on where you are going there is also ranjanis ~ an asian ran store (near ikea) that is great lots and lots of bargians...

    you should have told me before now and we could have met up :D

  • I'll be right up for this! My last week at work this week (but already have my bus pass for it), and have spent the weekend (as I get in at about 8pm during the week) preparing my lunches and dinners for the next few days which should save me some cash. I also have another freebie with Seefilmfirst on Thursday evening which is pretty much my weeks entertainment! Will also supplement this with one or two trips to the gym to get me fit and ready for next weeks commute!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    I'm back of my jollys actually came home with unspent euros of the paper variety, which is unheard of for me and the old flexible foe (Visa) didn't get to see light of day either. long story short, i've discovered a further £4500 debt of his so we're in DFW for a good bit longer (I'll change my sig later).

    I've got a few things to get this week so can you put me down for £45 and I'll report my progress next week!
