Morning Budgeteers, I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. Ok budget for the week is £50 but this is to include dinner out of Thursday as I have a friend coming over from the Burgh. Going to see if I can convince her to go somewhere cheap so I can save some pennies. I am going out for lunch today with a friend but I am not going to be counting that in this challenge I will be ...

Hi pointypenguin, I just wanted to thank you for running this challenge. I remember when I first started this many months ago, I struggled with a budget of £100/week! I used to see other people trying for £50 or less, and dreamed of the day when I would be as disiplined as they were. Now, I'm content with £20 a week, and probably wouldn't know what to do if I had £100... actually, I'd take £...

Morning all, well yesterday I only spent £20 of my £30 budget so I actually came in on budget- £69 yay I've already done my weekly shop and filled up the car with petrol- so I've got £10 for personal spends for the rest of the week (I'm changing the spend challenge rules again- one day I'll get something that works) Have a great week all

Hi everyone I've managed to go over my allocated £40, hmph! I spent £51.10 due to an unexpected but nice night out on Friday after work and the blasted cigarettes! I remember when I could easily have 18 NSDs a month and I long for them. I know that reading all the posts on here will encourage me as I'm really envious of those people who have NSDs! Thanx pointypenguin for running ...

Thank you pointypenguin the said ball of yarn is a pound (don't tell the person I am making the scarf for!), so I do have the money. I did try to be OS and added a different shade of blue to the scarf, so that half would be light blue and the other half a darker blue, but it didn't quite look as I had imaged in my mind... but at least I tried the OS way first I do have a week long budget, but I don't count groceries (that comes...

I am so glad I haven't included today in my budgeting, I spent £60 on over the knee boots and new leggings in Evans- but they are lovely, looking forward to wearing them to see my family tomorrow, hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Oops - spent £40 the day before yesterday for a stag party in March next year - originally the stag party was going to be an amazing weekend away for a grand total of £360 inclusive of everything - just turn up with no cash as everything (travel, accom food, drinks etc) would have been included. However, not everyone could afford it, so plan B is a scaled down version for £100 and instead, everyone attending is contributing something...
