Making bread in Bm as i had flour and stuff in.

Thanks for reminding me I have the stuff in as well :T

My GDs wanted toast tonight, which just about finished off the last of the loaf I had in -- and I really didn't want to have to go to the shops tomorrow (stocked up on milk today so that I don't need to go again until at least the middle of next week).

Will have to put my BM on tomorrow and save myself the trip :j

It'll also make some space in my cupboards for a bit of the stuff I've got stored in all kinds of funny places round the house :rolleyes2

Can I join you. I'm trying to control my spending in lots of areas and even thhough groceries aren't too bad I suspect it could be better. Please could you put me down for £90 for the month, which I'll se for my food and any household bits.

Please put me down for £375.00 for May Mrs M, have shaved £25.00 off as came in under budget in April (we are rather pleased with ourselves at the moment as paid 750.00 off our mortgage in April too - only 74k to go !!!!!)

Good luck to all

Hi - can you put me down for £375 please for May? This is for 2 adults, 3 children (1 in nappies :mad:) and includes all packed lunches, toiletries, contact lens solutions etc etc...

Didn't do too well in April (that was a LONG month!!) but will hopefully do better in May.

Have done my first shop....which was quite a big one..came in at £99.31:eek: but did include quite a few toiletries and nappies.

Have a voucher for £15 off at Sainsburys - so guess where I'll be ordering from next week;)

Please can I join?
I'm going to guess a budget for May of £200.
Won't know until the end of the month how realistic this is!!

Hi

I have decided that after last months disaster I am gonna try posting a bit more to keep me motivated. As you can see from my sig I am half way through my budget already but that is ok because I have bought all the tuna and storecupboard stuff I need and have a freezer full so should only need milk and fruit for rest of month.

Anyone who's interested at my local Mr T yesterday I got a whole cooked chicken for £2.00 (they are normally £4 odd), don't know if they will be on today though.

Have a nice day
Eveie
