    Declaring Dec at 376.77 - was doing soooo well until Bailey's was on offer when I went in for teabags! So I'm a bit over but quite pleased I managed to keep a track of everything... and still feel I've a long way to go and a lot to learn!

    Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year - off to the Jan thread now, need to keep up the momentum! :beer:

    Hi all (well whoever's left - I may be talking to an empty room!),

    I have ducked out of Dec challenge as my Dad passed away 4 Dec. in the US and I spent most of the month over there and obviously focused on other things. Will join the Jan thread (all receipts saved so far) as soon as I can find it.

    Regards,

    Well, so much for good intentions, fell off the grocery wagon as soon as we broke up for the christmas holidays. However have started again yesterday so lets see if I can see this one through.

    Happy new year and well done to everyone else.

    :hello:

    Declaring December at £221.65 for two adults, 1 teenager and 1 adult son who was here for 1 week over Christmas :hello: :male:

    I don't think its too bad :undecided as it includes all Christmas food and cleaning but I never include drink or takeaways or anything else...

    I'm sorry I'm a bit late doing this but I was very ill with that awful flu over Christmas and even managed to get an ear infection which led to a perforated eardrum and am only just better now.

    Happy New Year everyone :A
