    Having had a summer of total excess I really need to get a grip and get back on the OS wagon. I am still paying off my holiday and although I'll get a payrise next month I need to seriously reign
    in the spending.

    As September is approx 4 weeks long so I'll do my best to keep the spending to £35 a week - this includes all food, drinks, dog food, cleaning and laundry stuff and toiletries.
    So please put me down for £140
    It will be a struggle as I've got used to flinging things in the trolley and not even looking at cost :o:o:o

    I also seem to have forgotten how to cook....so will need to get on with that too.

    Can I join please.

    Looking to stabilize what we spend and then reduce it. This is the first month for us so am going to start with target of £300 or £10 per day.

    Hoping these challenges will keep me motivated :-)
