:wave: I haven't done the big add up yet cos it's been another busy weekend at the coalface of renovating our bathroom.

I've just cooked dinner so I'm going to clean that up a bit, have a proper shower, make sure everybody is ready for school / work tomorrow, pack up my eBay parcels and then if I've got any energy left I'll add it all up.

If not I'll update tomorrow!

It's been a mixed month with plenty of baked beans on toast - but also a KFC bargain bucket last night so I can't even predict how the numbers will come out!

One thing I *do* know is that it would be be a much bigger number without the GC!

Love Jacks xxx

PS I'm having some friends round this week to show them my chilli / bolognese for 12+ for a fiver tricks that I learned here on the GC . I feel like Gordon Ramsay! (Without the skanky mistress allegations obviously!)

I'm slightly over at £202.64 not sure what went wrong, although I think it might have been to do with DH putting something extra in the shopping trolley one week.

I'm shamefully declaring £161.95 for one person!!!! Yes, I know,it's horryfying. :eek:

I just fell of the wagon after coming back from hols and having post holiday blues.
Breaks down as £64.18 for actual food, £36.72 on snacks :eek: , £32.02 for breakfast's and lunches :eek: and £29.03 for dinner out, takeaway and personal hygiene things.

Must do better in December.

Came in well over budget at £170 ish (i say £170ish as i am not sure if i counted a naughty takeaway which snuck in or not - at £10 so though i'd round up) but the least we've spent since joing the GC so that is a bonus! Must do better!

Not sure what my actually total is this month as I keep all my budget info on my laptop which has decided it no longer wants to work.

Although I have been keeping an estimate and rounding up every time I've done a shop and my estimate is at £39 so I know i'm definitely below target!

So I'm just declaring £39 for November even though it should be slightly less and wish to be put down for £40 for December's challenge.

Triggles

Argh - all my receipts are in my box in the dining room - under a bunch of covering, as they are redoing the ceiling in there and I can't get to it until Wednesday! We're either just at budget or slightly over.
