Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 6th January 2013

Evening all.

You're welcome for the thread, it helps keep me focused too.

Of course you can join Lynne192, just post a budget, try and stick to it then pop back and let us know how you did.

Clairey em - Welcome along, you don't have to post a daily break down, it's just something that helps me and reminds me when I shouldn't be spending. But if it works for you then that's fine.

Welcome back oops, good luck.

Keep those spends low everyone.

Hi everyone!

can I join please?

My weekly breakdown will be
Sun-NSD
Monday- Weekly train ticket approx £25
Tuesday- NSP
Wednesday Quiz- £5
Thursday-NSD
Friday-NSD

This is a total of £35. The cupboards are full and work lunches are all sorted as I have made lots of soups

I do have rampant tooth ache so might be an overspend on dentist fees but to be honest I would quite happily give anything to stop the pain now

Morning all

I'm a bit late updating this week but I was on target with a week of NSDs apart from Friday when I spent £14.39 on groceries.

So I'm also going to adopt ETOs breakdown

Sun - NSD (some shopping for OH but it's his money:))
Mon - £4 circuits
Tues - NSD
Wed - £4 circuits
Thurs - £10 kids swimming
Fri - £10 takeaway with OH

So £30 for this week please:D

Hey all

Well my plan for this week is £115

Sunday - Cinema - £10, Grocery shopping - £?, Petrol - £25
Monday - Meal out - £20
Tuesday - Spa evening - paid for by work, but got to put £15 towards it.
Wednesday - NSD
Thursday - NSD
Friday - NSD
Saturday - Newspaper and maybe small misc spend - £?

It's in black and white therefore it has to happen just like this.

Oh dear... woooooops, spends have gone abit awry today, still green but will be having to jiggle things around.

Sunday - Cinema - £7.28, grocery shopping £39.55, :mad: Petrol - £25.79 = £72.62
Monday - Meal out - £20
Tuesday - Spa - may be going for a slightly cheaper option so wont need to add to it. so will put the £15 to one side so i dont spend it.
Weds - Fri - NSD
Saturday - papers and misc spends - £?

Hair £0/£40 (new hairdresser & not sure of cost ... hasn't been cut since errrr March?)

Weds - £10 Grocery top up & maybe the odd Misc thing:o

Fri - NSD
Sat - £3.26 left from Groceries (would get a paper!)

So .... let's see how it goes!:)

:rotfl:Ops! Got super excited when I realised there's a FF in the same town

- nearest one to me is around a 50 mile round trip:eek: (and not a place I really go to)

I thought exactly the same. :rotfl:

rising_from_the_ashes · 6 January 2013 at 9:38PM

Glad I'm making everyone :rotfl::D

DM phoned earlier and she's been to FF today as she knew I wanted to get loo rolls & was going to a shop in the same retail bit - great as that saves a job on Tuesday!:T

She got .... wait for it .......... 6 packs:eek: (thankfully they only do the 9 packs & not the 18 ones that Home Bar*gains do!)

Don't think I need quite that many :rotfl: but will decide how many packs to take off her hands (and pay on Tuesday

)

Well just back from the folks and absolutely stuffed, mum had put on a lovely birthday tea for me.

Have been utterly spoilt today, presents and money coming out of my ears, been absolutely lovely.

So i think i could probably declare an orange week already, as i have made money, but i am not including my birthday money as i want to spend it guilt free.

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.
