moozies weekly challenge w/c 7th october 07

Options
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.

    Failed horribly with a total of £29.75 spent.:doh:

    This week I am going to be cruel to myself and really tighten my belt. I'm going to go for £0, mainly as I have nothing I need (like a blasted driving licence replacement:mad:) and I know next week will be expensive as I'm off to visit my bro.

  • £84.84! I know it's high... but under budget :money: :D

    I'll give myself £50 this week and should come in well under - but if I start getting fed up of waiting for labour to begin I might just end up shopping :eek: - well, gotta do it while I can... :rolleyes:
