    I'm going to do this challenge till Friday when i get paid, probably not the proper way of doing it but i have £5 in my purse and nowt else to my name. So that's my limit.
    Thank god it's a week of nights in.

    lemon thats fine hun, i wll run your week till thursday night so just post on sat/sunday what you spent uptill then :D
  • aww paps...sorry you feel so low at the moment. DFW is like a lifeline & its hard when it all feels a bit much & you've had alot going on recently ith work, the rabbit & possibly ad being helpful was too much on top, although as others said he was bviously being helpful. It is hard as a newby to feel included sometimes and this was just his way of doing that me thinks! Anyway, am very pleased it's all resolved & hopefully everyting can now return to normal!
    As for my spends I had £4.30 -£4 parking & 30p for a hot chocolate while I was waiting for a meeting! Not bad as I'll get the £4 back next month! Hoping for a no spender tomorrow, although will have to get petrol!

    Right I have been home around an hour now and I have written and rewritten this post about 9 times. Firstly sorry to everyone, everything had been building and building and my anger finally was unleashed on you. I am sorry I didn’t mean it.

    Thanks again for being the lovely people you are. t1zcheekkiss.gif

    PaP - That was one of the most moving posts I have ever read. I'm just so pleased we are not losing either you or arthur - Thank You. :A

  • Hi PaP.....

    Can I join the challenge too? Its only Monday and I have spent WAYYY too much money already!
    Can I just check tho, is this for total spends? Does it include things like if I have to buy extra milk (we do have a food budget), or is it for un-budgetted things.... I'm having a dizzy day, I should be in bed now!

    As I've already spent loads, I'm going to aim for £10 for the rest of the week to ease myself in gently, then £10 a week me thinks.....

    Thanks hun

  • Sarah, yes its for unbudgetted things, if you add your milk to your shopping budget then keep it there. I generally use this budget for papers/choc/odd days off that i havent budgetted etc etc. With regards to your budget, dont worry if you dont give yourself enough you can change that next week :D take care
  • after all that went on the weekend/yesterday i didnt even post my update/weekly challenge thing. Well i over spent last week because i brought my terrmundi although even if i didnt but that at £20 i would have been over by £1.04 anyways :rolleyes: This week i have £4.70, I have £1 a day (i work 4 days this week) plus 70p extra, if i spend anything and break into each £1 i cant put it into my terr so i have an extra pressure we shall see how fast i can fill my little pot. I am aiming for the pot to pay for some of my car/car insurance once full ~ mmm we shall see :rotfl:
