Am I the only one who buys my protein in more traditional containers such as chicken, eggs and cheese?

Dunno, do you do body building, weight training or a muscular related sport such as rugby, american football, wrestling or boxing?

We spend between £1,000 and £1200 a month on outgoings and that includes holidays, pensions and quite a lot of entertainment. That`s covered by my wifes part time job more or less. My income varies wildly. Turnover is very down so this tax year I have nothing to pay as it was covered by the "on account " up front payment. All that is saved to add toward our retirement plans. I work on the fact that we can live pretty well on £42 a day.

I actually do a combination of those six events at the same time. I call the resulting spectacle 'Grapple Bulk Balling'.

Erm, in answer to your original question: no.

our outgoings are

400 ( rent bills, phone & internet, lovefilm insurances, time out etc)
300 food & fags including lunches & dog food
20 mobile
about £20 for tube & bus fares ( i use a works vehicle for work & start from home most days) he pays about 100
put away 200 pcm for presents & holidays

I save roundabout 1k a month, and OH is paying me money back from some CCs I paid off for him, so thats topping up the savings nicely atm. We buy bits & pieces whenever we need them, and with all the sales in the shops, everything we are buying seems to be a lot cheaper now than it used to be last year.

Household consists of 2 adults and no kids or pets.
This is my contribution.

Share Options at work: £200 (£50 x 4)
Regular Savings: £250
Fixed Standing Order to bill paying account: £825 (43% contribution/ hubby 57% = £1900 in total)
Food: £100
Petrol: £40
Holiday fund: £100
Left for me: £150

Hubby and I both get paid four-weekly by our respective employers, so pay day changes each month and we get paid twice in the same month once a year.
All bills/direct debits including mortgage £1391 (includes £745 overpayment) are paid from bill paying account.

My pay into my bank account has the SAYE payment already taken, so I'm used to not having it in my pay.

My loose change bottle covers most of my annual car insurance.

I probably work 1 Sunday evening in 6 (if asked) which equates to £125. That goes straight into the holiday fund. They owe me 2 lots because they forgot to pay me in December and January, so I'll be receiving it in 2 weeks time.
I have no loans or debts apart from the mortgage.
