Well this is the last day of the tread for me and unless I go crazy and spend nearly £40 I will be wa--ay under this month.

This will be because DS moved out halfway through, I just didn't realise how much I was spending on stuff just for him. Once Xmas is out of the way I hope to be able to keep the figure down quite a bit.

Lunch today will be stuffed chicken thighs (SP pack, 4 legs and 4 thighs £1.89, boned and stuffed the thighs so 2 in the freezer for another day and legs will make a stew and dumplings)

This cooking for two lark is quite liberating:rotfl:

Declaring at £407.19 for Nov - yeah!!!!! Please put me down for £450 again for Dec, Mrs Mc - I would reduce it, but we always have an organic turkey for X Day - which can be fairly expensive!! Will look to reduce in Jan (by which time hubby will be out of a job - eek!:eek: :eek: )
