    My first month completed and I'm declaring at £255.91 :eek: - I thought we spent somewhere between 200 and 250 a month but wasn't sure and so I've kept a record and it's over what I thought but at least it's not that much over and does include 2 trips to the fish and chip shop and lunch out (cheaply) twice and far too much money to Sainsburys...

    So my target for July is going to be £230 please - about half way between what my target was for June and what I actually spent :o

    We do have a pretty well stocked freezer and cupboards atm though so I'm hoping to make good use of these things during July.

    I blew the budget by about £100 making it somewhere near to £180 for June instead of £80 so I will set a target of £200 for July and see if I spend anywhere near to this!

    I was over-budget again, and I'm having a birthday bbq on saturday, so I know I need to increase my budget for July to £120 I think.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
