    Hi,

    Can I please join? I would like to only spend £10.00 from Monday - Sunday. I went this morning, and stocked up my fridge with goodies, and I am off to make lunch for tomorrow, and get a bit organised.

    The only flaw to my plan, is on a Wednesday when I at college after work, and I wont be home til 9pm!

    Hiya pap,

    Having re-done our budget yesterday, I realise I need to keep a tighter rein on my 'frivolous' spending :o

    I have put £15 worth of petrol in today, so I reckon I should get by on £15 this week.


    P.S Does anyone know what happened to moozie?

    ok set a budget of £12 plus £10 for mums mothers day present. Spent £9.36 on my mum. But the rest kind of went to pot! Was doing ok with other part of budget but blew it on Friday night by going out on the spur of the moment spending £10. So total for the week £19.45 i think!!!! plus the £9.36 on mum

    Well, I didn't do as well as I would have liked last week, and ended up spending £10.88 on unnescessary items for the week! I also forgot it was PAYG top up time and I had my haircut! So really I should have allowed for them and cut down elsewhere! Oh well! Better luck this week, where I'd like to go for £10 again please!

    Ok, for me it is £10.00 for the week, yesterday and today NSD - yiphee:T
  • Can I join? Do you mean personal spending on this site? If so, I spent £2.10 on a card for two newly wedded friends and am going to spend £20 on Amazon when I am done. Other than that, I hope to behave.
