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.0

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."Reaching out to touch the stars dont forget the flowers at your feet".0 -

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:xmastree:Merry Christmas0 -
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'.MFW Challenge 2019 - £2,420 / £2,420 - 100% :T0

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!!
