    Well, last week I totally blew my budget by Wednesday the gave up counting. Think my spends would have been around £25 in total so red for me.

    This week I'm meeting friends for coffee (Starbucks so extortionate:rolleyes: ) so I'll put myself down for a £20 challenge. And I promise to be better behaved than last week!

    I was well over this week and its all due to Cadburys relaunching Wispa so I blame them!. Ending up buying all of my team one as we had a bad week as well as a few extras (mags etc) so total of £26.12 this week.

    Next week I am off work and its my birthday (yeay!) so will need about £50.00. x

    Hi, I have £13.00 this week, am going for a crafty drink tonight but will stick to a couple of soft drinks and plan to make the rest last for the week. I managed to stick to budget last week, in fact came out with £3.00 - hence funny figure for this week.
