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

    That does include £399 worth of new laptop thou! Mine died on me, and as my lappy is the only link I have to the outside world thru the net, and all my budgets & money stuff are filed on it. I needed a new one!
    RIP old lappy.

    Anyway, this week I am going to go for £13, as that is the total amount of cash I have in my purse. I need some fruit and veg for this week but that *should* be all.

    I don't have much planned, apart from a day in London on Tuesday, so please put me down for £50.

    Fingers crossed! :D
