Hello :) I am fairly new to the MSE forums and need to curb my spending which has quite frankly got out of control. So I need a kick in the teeth!!!

I have done the food shop today but not including that in my £10 as it an essential! So today concludes the challenge...and I still have £10 in my purse :j Really pleased!!

I won't be able to do this next week as I go on holiday on the 4th Sept and need to buy a few things for that.

Would anyone be up for a new challenge when I get back that focusses on the individual setting their spending target for the week and updating?

Really glad I did this - I am new to the forum and needed a no spending shock to kick start getting my spending under control and getting the CC's under control. Think this has done it!
