Hiya Pap,
Wow, there is a lot from last week - hope they've all done better than me......
Unfortunately on my £10 budget I've spent.... £64.04.
£5 was on a new PAYG sim to replace my now expired contract phone, £19.34 on birthday presents and the rest on text books.
Please put me down for another £10 for next week, got to make up for this week and keep it *very* low.
Good luck

Hi Pap!

The other £60 is for budgeted spends which werent included in this! Although i suppose i could add them in for next week to make it easier to keep track of :think:

I did really badly last week - so much so that I stopped counting:o . So make me red please Pap. I feel very ashamed of myself and totally let down. I think it's worse when it's your own doing.
Anyway, fingers crossed for next week. I'll aim for £10 after petrol costs.Reality check - hit rock bottom on 15 Dec 2008 with unsecured debts of £29,136 and not enough money to live on
