    Hi All

    Well really bad week for me seem to have forgoten (spelling sorry!) the concept of budgeting :eek:. Buying lots of convenience food instead of cooking :o.

    So it is back to the straight and narrow for me next week I aim to spend no more than £10. Am on holiday and need to finish/tidy up assignement for work so should manage this budget as will spend lots of time stuck in the libary :rolleyes:

    Good luck everyone else

    definately a ditto moment :o

    It's like as soon as I sort my budget out I manage for a month or so then think 'WeyHayyy must start buying random items that I don't really need' :rolleyes:
    What the ..... is that about? I just sabotage myself :confused:
    I want to be debt free too

    I seem to have been rebelling against myself TBH so think maybe just not thinking about not spending will make me not spend so much IYKWIM! I seem to have been panic buying & now have enough food to do Weezl's challenge twice over! Oh dear...
