postingalwaysposting

Hi all i have made a few changes to the challenge... the challenge will still be run sunday~friday however i will now start this thread on a saturday which is our 'free day'. There are many reasons for this but the main one being that i work every other weekend and its easier for me to get this running on a saturday than a sunday. so here we go....

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!!!

Moozie x

welcome all... I hope you have had a great week and kept it low... and are you ready to be turned red/green? Everyone can join, just post a target in keeping with you/your debts/your spends, don’t worry about everyone else’s budgets. Then each day post on the daily spends thread and add them all up ready to post the following Saturday. The challenge runs from Sunday to the Friday... everyone welcome... please dont worry if you have gone over budget and will be turned red it happens... to me more than anyone else.

Now i missed last weeks thread so we have no targets for this week just gone so we are starting a fresh, please post this weeks targets below please remember anyone is welcome

Hi PaP - missed you yesterday.

Good idea to start the 'Challenge' thread on a Saturday - gives us time to budget properly.

I'm going to aim for a £25.00 spend this week, as my wife is away for the week, so just me and my son (and youngest daughter for the weekend) to cater for - the freezer's well full - my wife has made sure we won't die of hunger. :j :j

So put me down for the £25.00 please, PaP. :T :T

hi rog... i was on yesterday, i just didnt post :rolleyes: also it was a flying visit as i didnt stay long.

right my budget will be £30... the only thing i have this week is a pizza night tommorow with my best mate ~ my shout... it will only be around £20 max anyways that then leaves me with £10... anything i dont spend tommorow out of the £20 if its above £5 i will put the credit on my phone if its under i will chuck it in my money banks :T

Ive got a really exciting week ahead of going to work and coming home again - doesnt get much more thrilling than that! However it does mean there shouldnt be much to spend so put me down for £20.00 this week please

Thanks x

Hi PaP, can you put me down for 20 quid please? OH is taking sarnies to work and we r buying the tobacco in *ahem* bulk!;)
20 quid should cover my hair dye and bread and milk for the week!

mm:cool:

Hi Pap tough call this week as I'm not sure what I'm even supposed to be doing :rolleyes: and I haven't budgeted for two weeks so don't want to opt out... ok, put me down for a big £100 - just remembered I have a hair appointment - I might cancel it, not sure, but it's not cheap if I do go I'll make sure I have a couple of NSDs though, including today - typical to have one when it doesn't count!

Have been shopping today and have stuff for sarnies so should be able to get a few NSD in this week.

Well I am hoping for a cheap week, I need food shopping, but that is budgetted for.
I will put in £10 this week and see how I do, I'm on mornings at work so I'm usually too tired afterwards for any spending.

Hello all,
Am back after a lovely holiday - hope you've all had good weeks.
I would like to try for £40 this week - have a big night out on Friday with friends.
Good luck all x
