I’ve been spending far too much at weekends recently. I must have spent £200 last weekend and I have nothing to show for it. So I’ve decided that I’m not going to spend a single penny until Monday!
Does anyone else want to join in this challenge with me? I know it would be difficult for people with kids and other responsibilities.
I will let you know how i get on.

23I have minimum spend months when the old bank account/credit card bill relationship is lookin a bit lopsided but if I had a no spend weekend I'd just spend a lot on Friday to consume over the weekend.

41I like the challenge! Whilst it might be difficult to not spend a penny (bday party) I'll definitely try to seriously minimise costs. No trash mags or Starbucks coffee etc.

I went to my old hockey club to watch the Scotland game and someone bought me a pint, so I had to buy them one back (plus one for myself). So I spent £4.70 all weekend.
Mike - I would have come, I was waiting for my invite, but it never came

Shoes (Primark, so at least I tried) £17
Food & wine - £20
Not exactly a success, but not too bad either!

78FAIL.
Friday night - dinner (£15) followed by unexpected night out (£105)
Sat - food shopping (£25)
Sun - lunch (£15) tea and cake (£6)
But I consoled myself with the fact that the ratio of fun vs the cost was pretty good so not too worried.
Must try harder.
