    Can I declare £293.70 for January, please Mrs M. A whole £6.30 under budget! Not as good as it could have been, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, as they say :D

    See you over on the February thread.

    Hi
    Can I declare £145 for January please. I've used the remainder of the £180 to go to Mr A in the next town [we had to go that way to pick up the small person] to stock pile whoopsies and regular items that come in at less than Mr T. So am well on the way meatwise for Feb:j

    I'm declaring £133.65 for Jan - was still under (just!!) this morning but a trip to a fruit shop and some time to kill in Netto finished me off.

    Good luck for Feb everyone.
