Can I join for the month please - can i go for £200 for the 2 of us please! I will include my shop from today as that is pretty much all for Aug onwards.
(does groceries include toiletries? dog food? washing stuff etc? Just so I know...)

Hi there,
I include everything except dog food, but this is only because i only buy it every 2 months (i get raw meat from Landywoods, excellent value ).

Hi Peeps :wave:
I`ve just posted my total for July last night so i`m in for this month at £140 please for August.
I`m allowing an extra £20 as i`ll need to start re filling the freezer once it`s been defrosted.
Good luck everyone.

Morning all

Its gonna be a scorcher here again... its already 83 and its only 9:30 :eek: ..still it should get those tomatoes ripened up nicely :T

Well I was determined to make it to friday without spending.. but we need to fetch more water .... we get through loads... we drink the medium sparkled stuff and its lovely... I know we should drink tap water -but the stuff here smells like chlorine (not helped by an outbreak of e-coli or something in the water whilst we are away :eek: so now they are being extra careful and adding more nasties :rolleyes: )... anyway the water is only 19c for 1.5litre -and i have at least 20 bottles to return -for which i will get 25c back each -so i won't technically be spending any money from my purse :j so it will make 4nsd in a row -if i can get out of LIDL without buying anything else -hubby reckons i will never do it.... hmmm that sounds like a challenge to me

Todays dinner is soft goats cheese with herbs in, with salad and steamed potatoes from the garden :T ....... and i will pack an extra one up for hubbies lunch tomorrow

I made a couple of big jellies yesterday and added a big jar of cherries -in juice -so i added the juice in place of water, and i threw in the tub of blueberries mmmmm so that will help keep me cool

right i think im off to settle on the sofa with my x stitch... have cleaned the kitchen, vaccumed and polished -so im done for now
have a great day everyone :T

Hi All,

Count me in again this month please! I'm going to stick to my £220 for the month. (2 adults and 1 hungry toddler). It really helps keep me on the straight and narrow.:D

Thanks
