    Hope everyone had a good Christmas:xmassmile

    Can I declare at £85. Haven't done too badly and going to really try next year to keep the budget down. Need to keep an eye out for offers on Oh so Fishy (for the cat!) as the stock I got a few months ago is dwindling!

    Can you put me down for £90 in Jan.

    Diet starts tomorrow :rotfl: :whistle:

    PS
    Just totted up totals,average over year £180.39,so really need to stretch things a bit and reduce monthly spending-otherwise it's not going to be a challenge-is it? Will think on it.

    Mrs M please put me down for £120 for January, should be able to manages that with all the leftovers in the freezers - if not come in under.

    Hope you had a lovely Christmas and are feeling better after you hospital visit.

    Is it OK for me to join in? I have become a spendthrift( :D) and have totally lost control of my grocery budget over the last few months. I really need to have a tight grip on our budget this year - 2009 looks like it is going to be a tough year for a lot of people and I would feel much happier having some control over our finances. I'm starting in a good position as my spendthrift ways have left my storecupboard and pantry bursting at the seams!!! My plan is to 'storecupboard' shop and use my grocery budget to replace used items and buy fresh items such as milk.

    MrsM, could you please put me down for £140? Thanks :)
