paps/moozies weekly challenge ~ w/c 2nd march 08

Welcome all... Coucou24.gif

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 drinks.gif

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

    Hi PaP

    i havent posted for the last couple of weeks, dont always have access to the computer on fri/weekend. but have been keeping a track of weekly spends. managed to spend under £10 last week. Yay.

    hope its ok to join again - am hoping to spend no more than £20, have got a meal out on weds but have a voucher for that. have quite a lot of shifts this week, so hopefully can keep it low to make up for some busier weeks later in the month.

    have a good week
