Really excited to declare that I spent £165.02 out of my budget of £210 :j:beer: long live good MOC I say!!! NOTW and clubcard have done me wonders this month!!!0

Time to declare spend as over the £60 at £116.47
. However actually only spent £33.48 cash after coupons etc, so quite pleased as was more concerned with cutting what it actually cost me than what I spent! So is still :j for me lol
Think will up it slightly for next month though and try and come in closer for actual spend, as sadly can't see coupons going on forever and need to try and cut back a bit anyway.
Hooray for everyone who made it though, and lets keep trying for those of us that missed!

Please can I declare at £195.72 for August, although I don't think I was actually on the list. Although we are underbudget this month, we did do some eating out from the holiday budget, so it's probably not as good as it should be, but we have still got a lot of food in. See you in September....0

Hi All,

Congratulations to all those how came in on or under budget, and well done for all those who didn't, but tried, how much worse would it be if you hadn't tried.

Just scraping in under budget at £487.24. We got back from 4 days in London Fri night. I included lunch spends whilst away (want to Mr S for picnic stuff and also had a McDs) but not evening meals out. Breakfast was already paid for - got a discount for doing it online beforehand and the kids ate free. Needless to say we all breakfasted well! :rotfl: :rotfl: Also brought back the coffee & sugars we didn't use from our room (used all the tea and some more!) I have no scruples about doing so, as we *could* have used them in theory and the hotel was quite frankly not up to standard (yes, we did complain)
Can't believe how far Sept thread has already got - I've spent ages catching up on all the posts and was gutted yesterday when MSE was down
Well done to everyone - whether you made budget or not - just by attempting the GC everyone is a winner! :T

A no spend day yesterday (thank goodness - I needed it), am feeling a little lonely now everyone is moving over to the september thread, will keep plodding on, I get paid on the 20th hence being later in the month, maybe if (when) I can ever get ahead of myself will try and work from month end to month end - can't imagine it'll be for a while!I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!0
