    hi all

    Have been AWOL for quite a long time but now DD is off to uni I am hoping to trim the budget a bit & could use some help to keep on track. I'm also trying SW again (at home) to try & lose a bit of weight before Christmas. So, I think I'll go for £200 please this month - & hopefully will have a big surplus to pay off the debts at the end of the month. This is for all food/toiletries etc for 2 adults, 2 cats 2 dogs - & 4 chickens. TBH though, the animals & chicks don't use an awful lot of toiletries lol :D
    New start JAN15 - NOT BUYING IT 2015 :eek:. Long haul DFW #145 : 2011 DEBTBUSTING : £5500 OD GONE, £2000 OD - GONE £93,610.30 cc & loan debt - GONE 27.6.14 FINALLY DEBT & MORTGAGE FREE :happyhear

    Hello all!
    First chance in a week to pop on and update the spends
    I managed £49 something (so we'll call it £50) in MrT's on the weekend and haven't spent anything else on food since.
    It's my wedding on Saturday so I won't be shopping this weekend - we'll just have to live on what's in for a couple of days when we get back until I feel like shopping! The big day is on Saturday but it's in South Wales (where I'm from originally) so we're travelling down tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday afternoon, so b*gger Mr T's til next week!
    I'm straight back at work on Monday (trainee teacher) so can't even have a rest after all of the kerfuffle!

    Anyway, I'll update the signature and get on with the packing!
