    Declaring at £130.19/£200 for July :j:D:j

    This month was really for me to see how much I actually spent instead of setting budgets too low as I had done for previous months and then going over and getting disheartened.

    Pleased with this result and will check out the salmon in Mr T's later on to come out of August budget

    Completly blown the budget this month :mad::mad:

    I'll have to declare at £240 for July :eek::eek::eek:

    I'm very cross with myself but it serves me right for going shopping on Friday for a 'few bits' when I had a really bad headache and forgot my list!!!!!!

    I think I need a boot up the backside to remind me that I NEED to cut back :o
