    I would like to declare at £402.86 for May please. Not bad, only £2.86 over, and it did include a wholefood order and Half Term. On to June and a new budget. Hoorah!

    Hi guys,

    My total spend for 2009 to date is £693.45 / £1200

    It's well over the halfway mark so I'm hoping that as summer approaches and the garden starts producing some extra food, spending will reduce. :o

    I spent £134.13 during May, so the freezer is still full. Got holiday guests for a few days during June, so hoping there's enough in to keep them happy.

    Hope everyone is making the most of the good weather.
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.
