    I usually post on the daily "what have/will you spend" thread but didn't realise about posting here first. I'll go for £20 this week please. I'm away on holiday on Friday so it'll be between now and then.

    Hi PaP,

    Hope you have/had a great time at the DFW meet.

    Was well over budget, had a really rubbish week. Spent £77.58 but was on a budget of £40 (i think). So definitely RED

    Change of plan for feb, not taking a months worth of spends out of the bank at the start of the month, i just see the money in my tin and have the urge to spend it -not good. so will take it out weekly then hide my card, so i cannot spend more than i budget. (well i'll try)

    Anyway have £30 til payday on 31st Jan Aaarrrgggghh, so best budget £15 i suppose. I feel a lot of belt tightening coming on.

    Good for you Toggyman. You can do it.

    It's amazing what rubbish we buy, when we're not thinking about it. Well i do anyway, today being a fine example.

    Good luck with your budget hun.
