    Usually there will be a link to the following months thread but Pink (who usually takes care of us) has been busy this time so someone else did it -and we don't have the same access to the system...Even if you don't see the link -keep an eye out around the 28th at the very top of the "old style board" as the current month is "stuck" to the top of it ;)

    I am really really pleased with myself this month.

    I have clocked in £8.85 under.

    My grand total spend for January has been £175.60

    I don't have to buy anything till February now.

    I am so chuffed.

    This is my first month of coming under. I was beginning to think of giving myself a bit more. So, to all those of you who keep trying but just going over your budget.... keep at it.... don't give up... it will come.

    My eating a little less to try and lose the Christmassy fleshy bits may have helped too.

    Am chuffed to have come in under budget on January at £219.77. Have picked up loadsatips from here. Thanks one and all.
    I got there - I'm debt free and intend to stay that way. If I haven't got the cash, it doesn't get bought. It's as simple as that.

    Hi Everyone.

    Not done too bad this month but still overspent by 7.60 up to now. Hopefully will not have to spend anything until Sunday.

    Mrs Mac. Can you put me down for £120.00 for Feb.

    Thanks
