Week 2 – Monday 11th March to Sunday 17th March
Ok, so I did terribly on my ‘only 2 purchased coffees per week’ challenge! Epic Fail this week. I was travelling for work to complete some rather intensive training, so I think this may have had something to do with pushing my coffee quota up!!

The Debt Breakup 
You are not a bad person for going over your budget/limit for coffee. Not a total epic fail, at least you tried your hardest to keeping your goal of two coffees but just couldn’t get to it. This week is A New Week and I see fitting to try that goal again! I loved your post and will be posting my expenses from this weekend!!
Thanks for your comment!! I did try hard re the coffee but with a manic work week it just seemed impossible to get by on only 2! I look forward to seeing your spend update 🙂
