Pap/Moozies Weekly Challenge ~ w/c18th May '08

SarahNeedle1872

Got all excited just now as I thought I'd seen the new challenge thread for this week....... then realised that it was one from March that had been posted on

Pap, hope you don't mind that I started the thread, have been waiting for you (hope you're ok btw x), knicked this from last weeks......

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 ~

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

Please everyone post your totals for last week, plus your pledge for this week, and hopefully Pap will be back soon to keep us on the straight and narrow!!!

Come back Pap, we neeeed you xxxx

I was looking for this thread, glad it wasn't just my doziness that stopped me finding it Wheres PAP, is she ok?

Can I have £10 for the week, I haven't done it for ages though

SarahNeedle1872

Hi Meyore, I think she's ok, she did say a few days ago that she was gonna take a week or so out...... but she did say she'd be back to start the thread, which is why I waited until now. Hopefully she'll be back soon, I'm carp at all this 'organisation' stuff

meyore

As long as shes ok thats the main thing I have trouble organising myself, safer not to let me loose on this sort of thing

Copied my post from the previous thread...

Oops, I completely forgot to post my results for last week Well over, I bought a gel seat cover and lights for my bike, plus shopping and mouse poison! Didn't keep a tally thou. :rolleyes:

I'm going for £30 this week. I have to get a birthday pressy, and I need to post some ebay sales tomorrow. I also need some fruit & veg.
I don't think I need anything else this week.

So far I've spent £2.00 on toddler group fee but can claim it back as expenses as I'm a childminder so not sure that counts or not?
