    Been away from this site way too long. Life took over really I hate to say, then on top of that we had to move and had no internet for quite a while.
    Our budget has gone up way too much for my liking in the time I've been away from here. Not happy.

    I'm changing the budget from using the months like I used to and going by payday instead as I think this will work out easier for us.

    November will be Oct 31st - Nov 27th


    Please add us for £200 for November.


    (I'm doing October on my own as a run through but am lurking in the October thread)

    Hi there, I had October off and my budget went haywire so I have to rein it in. Please can you put me down for £500 as it's a 5 week month. This is for 2 adults and 3 teenagers and a cat. I am following weightwatchers so I should be eating a lot less than I have been, never mind the trips to the shop for snackage!

    Could I please join in with £160 for the month from 1st November to 30th November.


    This amount should cover all foodstuffs, cleaning products and toiletries for the month. I am clearing my freezer this month (October) so I will have little food to carry over.


    I have kept a separate purse for anything I buy for Christmas and will then add it to the December Challenge.

    Yay November! I am back on the MSE wagon and definitely back for the GC and back in to SW mode to finally shift some of the extra baby weight that's been getting me down and keeping me in a vicious downbeat circle :)

    Christmas is coming! I added a couple of foodie treats to the trolley last month and will add a couple more this month :)

    Baby is now in full weaning mode (we are doing purees - part bought and part homemade atm to move in to all homemade in the next couple of months) I am also back at work now so have accounted for the rise in packed lunch needs in the budget.

    Please could I be put down for £130 for November (oct 24th-nov25th) ; this will cover breakfasts, lunches and evenings meals all month (including a roast each sunday) extra fruit and snacks for bf, training food for bf (nutella and wraps) purees/formula/fromage frais for bairn and a few treats. I've joined the Orchard with Tesco and got my first set of vouchers so they will help too :)

    Hi there!

    I'm going to try for 160 next month :j

    This is to include all supermarket shopping, incl. cleaning products, cat food and loo roll (not including chicken feed!)

    I have quite a well stocked pantry so I'm hoping to be able to chuck a few extras in for Christmas too. I can't believe how fast this year has gone! :eek:
