    Yippeee! November challenge here we come!!! (sorry - just trying to get up a bit of enthusiasm as not been feeling too good lately!).

    I'd like to set my budget at £175 this month please.

    A little bit more than last month's at £160 (well I managed £164) as DH & I need to make sure we eat even more healthily than usual as we're embarking on another round of IVF starting in November. Will need to build in some 'treats' though, as the drugs messing around with my hormones seem to make me want to eat chocolate and 'comfort food' (ladies, think PMT for about 4 to 6 weeks - yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

    Good luck to everyone for November and wrap up warm!

    Hi Mrs M

    Please put me down for £350.00 for November. I have failed miserably for October, already overspent by 20.00 and a booze delivery from MrT on its way (it is for a party tho) so will probably end up declaring at about 500.00 I've seriously got to get a grip of my finances!!!! I start off the month ok and then towards the end my spending goes out of control.
