Welcome all...

I hope you have had a great week and kept it low... and are you ready to be turned red/green? Everyone can join, just post a target in keeping with you/your debts/your spends, don’t worry about everyone else’s budgets. Then each day post on the daily spends thread and add them all up ready to post the following Saturday/Sunday. The challenge runs from Sunday to the Friday... Everyone welcome... Please don't worry if you have gone over budget and will be turned red it happens... to me more than anyone else. Have a great week

And a word from our sponser ~

Good afternoon lovely DFWs Now for anyone looking in, please feel free to join - the more the merrier! Basically, decide on the amount you want to spend up to from Sunday until the end of the working day on Friday then pledge it here and off we go! The challenge is about incidental spending and not for stuff that should be budgeted elsewhere such as bills, groceries, debt repayment etc but you decide what to include at the end - this is about changing your habits and improving your recording of your spends more than anything else. Have a great week everyone and keep it low!!! Moozie x

taka

:hello: Am proud to report that I managed not to overspend this week so please turn me green this week!! :j

Total spend was 69p... a packet of tic tacs (44p) and a mug for work (should have been reduced to 75p according to shelf ticket but turned out to be 25p at the till... bargin :T )

Ummmm put me down for £5 again please. xx

savvykaz

Hiya pap,

Oh no!!! I'd forgotten I'd said £50 this week. Give me five minutes and I'll be back with the figure

savvykaz

OMG it's WAAAYYY over £100 :eek: :eek: :eek:

I need to be more careful this week, but do need to renew my monthly train pass, so realistically I will say £80.

Lelc

Hi all

I had a fantastic week and didn't spend anything so turn me green please.

This week I'm going to go for £15 again as I'll definitely be paying for dd's dinner money as dh is away - £10. I'm also going out for lunch one day so that'll cost.

Have a good week everyone.

ShelleyC_2

Hi, can I please join in?

I'm not sure where to aim for but I think I've spent about £55 this week although lots of needless pennies spent due to being too lazy to pack lunch! Plus a few clothes things I didn't really need :rolleyes:

If I go for £25 maybe that'll keep me on the straight & narrow. My first purchase will be a shiny new notebook to use as a spending diary, if I can't hunt one out like a good newbie MSE member.

Gemmzie

£0 again, I think I've forgotten how to spend. Need to get my uniform tomorrow though, unfortunately, so £30 for this week I suppose.

jammiejen

Hey Pap,

I managed £17.29! So green please and £20 again

thanks
