postingalwaysposting

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

Well I overspent because I pre-ordered a new game being released in april... so budgeted £15.00 spent £77.06 :rotfl: This coming week I will go for £10 although I am only working three days so I am hoping for a nsw good luck all...

Gemmzie

Hey PAP,

£6.30 for me this week so not bad at all.

Since Saturday is free and I have nothing scheduled in for this week, will go with £5 but if I'm working then it'll have to go up.

redsquirrel80

£18.49 for me

Trying for a nice low spend £10 week next week!

Aww PaP you're so sweet! I totally agree, everyone needs a treat now and again!

this week, can I pledge £19? As Easter weekend is looming, I'm sure I'm not alone in having to spend a bit more money than usual. I also have to travel 190miles home so I'm sure there will be a couple of unnecessary spends this week.

Hi everyone - happy Easter! Well, I didn't end up going home this week (well, I was on the way home, but broke down on the M6Toll so never made it...) so I didn't spend as much as I thought I would luckily! My total for this week was £5.18 out of £19 budgeted so please can I be turned green? Thank you! I am going back home next weekend if I can get my car back, it's currently being fixed in Birmingham, near where I broke down, so I'd better budget £17 for unnecessary spends while Im there.

I didn't spend anything on incidental spends - and I found a tenner in an old handbag!!! That went on stamps (beating postal charges due to go up on April 1st)

Did buy some furniture though that was an in-the-budget spend so I hope it doesn't count.

Aim to keep the same fiver in my purse for another week.

Hiya pap,

My budget last week was £50 and I ended up spending £40 :j :j

This week I will budget £40 as I am going out on Tuesday evening for a meal for one of the girl's birthdays at work.

Hello Pap and everyone.

My budget was £30 and i spent £27.63. Have been putting my spare change daily into my sealed pig so in theory have probably spent a lot less than that :T.

Will you put me down for £30 again for next week please pap x

beanielou

Was over budget this week
£10 for this week please
