Thanks PaP - That makes it alot clearer; which means that I need to turn to red instead of green - everything was in budget apart from takeaway and Oh's tools - so an overspend of ..... £65.97 :eek: Sorry, one more question:o What happens on Saturday, as this day is in the challenge - does that mean you can have a day off?:D Thanks once again.

No its ok you can stay green this week as you wernt sure

Saturday Moozie (the founder poster) decided to have it as a day off. Technically the challenge is supposed to end friday night at 5pm... however people do this in different ways, some do sun~fri (5pm), sun~fri (midnight) and some do sun~sat. Its entirely up to you... however i must say this please dont 'save' all your spends till saturday and blow it all then, it defeats the object of the whole challange. Me peronally i do sun~fri (midnight) just because saturday night we tend to have a takeaway/dvd and thats my little treat. Also this thread is usually started on saturday (your free day) so you can access budgets and the like for the comming week.

Hi Paps

This week I had a grand total spend of £1.47 from my £8.00 so I'll be green, so pleased. Thanx so much. Will be allocating £5.00 for the following challenge. Well done to everyone for doing this challenge, really makes me think before I spend any money.

Cheers
Casper

Hi

I''m just green again: £79.76 including food but excluding the MOT (budgeted elsewhere). This week put me down for £90 including food, and hoping to do better.
