Challenge for June - No Unnecessary spending for June

mum2one

have to confess spent an unnecessary £8.99 on pizza last ngt...... but did save money as did create ur own, got the largest size (shareing it), and picked it up.... shop offer, but 1st unnecessary spend since this thread started, so guess I should only feel 50% guilty!!

Hey Tig and all
Ive been rubbish quite frankly. Ive lost track of where I am, what Ive spent and feel really annoyed with myself that I can't even keep to a stupid budget. I could have our debts paid off so much quicker if I could just keep my spending under control!

hi all ,
sorry i haven`t been onboard all week , i`ve been very busy with work .
i have had 4 no spend days :T
and 3 days when i have bought shopping ect. but only what i needed to buy and if it wasn`t on my list i didn`t buy it .
also got loads of birthdays this month so i allowed a certain ammount of money for buying birthday drinks ect. so far i`ve managed to spend a lot less on that than i thought i would so i`m very pleased with myself .
this thread has given me the incentive i needed to cut back on my spending ,
can we do this again in july please ?
:beer:

I feel much the same sallyx. I start out with such good intentions and then forget something...

I think one of the good things about this challenge is that it highlights my attitude towards spending - and where I spend. For instance, I didn't buy anything for myself, but DD19's back home and I immediately spent money on ice cream and on a 'little something' I knew she'd like.

For myself, I'm doing fine. TOLD you I was missing something!!:rotfl:

Hi everyone! I've finally fallen off the wagon and have had a mocha for the past couple of days at 95p a time :mad: In my defence, work has been very, very stressful for the past week so I'm feeling quite smug that it's only been £1.90 spent and not a lot, lot more. It was also going to be a Coke Zero when it was very hot a couple of days ago but the bloke that was going to the shop forgot to get mine so gave me the money back! It's pay day tomorrow so I think I've felt a bit frivolous with the money that's in my purse at the moment. Mind you, that's a bit of a novelty having money in my purse the week before pay day!!! :j
