    My target for March will be a little higher at £200 as I failed to achieve my target and it is also a longer month!

    Declaring my February as £293.00 thanks. Going to be a more difficult challenge for next month at £275.00 as my income has gone down. This is for 7 of us. Including most of the babies nappies etc.(Thats for 2 babies).
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

  • £296.27 for Feb:o .Over my £250 budget.
    This month we had 2 family birthdays which we catered for including sons 18th do which was nearly £100 itself for food and drink so all in all I dont think the overspend is too bad.

    Came in over £50 under this month (191.84) but way over on general spend. In light of this I am altering my food total for March to £200 and general spend to £300.

    Good luck one and all, see you in March, K x

    Finally getting round to declaring and I'm afraid I didn't make it. Budget was £350.00 and I came in at £364.50. Not too bad, but feel my report would say 'could do better'.

  • Hi, scraped through this month - am declaring £270.09 out of a £275 budget.
    Not as great as the previous two months, but then is a £25 cut anyway, so i suppose i saved £30 this month!!

    See you over in March
