I can declare October at £112.28/£115! Am having a higher budget for November though as really depleted the store cupboard in October!

Please put me down for £150 in November

Still going up the end of the month before finally declaring.

Thought I was doing so well....until I decided to include in the GC challenge all the supplements (for ill me) and shakes (for DS2 - a keen diabetic rugby player) that we have started taking. As we are both eating them, they do count as food. :rolleyes:

This will also concentrate my mind in trying to keep the rest of my spends down...here's hoping!

So I will pop over to the November thread to set out my aims for the coming month and will return here on Saturday to declare for October...does that make sense?

Evening all, would like to declare for this month at £148.45, £1.55 under budget :j.
I have added the total for this month onto the running total in my signature for this year and at the moment we are averaging about £155 per month. Quite pleased with that:D
See you all in the november thread;)

Blown it for October Declaring £325:eek:
But Only because I had to buy food and bits for adult student/unemployed DS. Had problems with JSA so no money for 4 weeks.
Other than that would have stretched my 4 week budget to 5 weeks so really pleased that I can do it.:D

Please put me down again for £280 for November

I'm too embarassed to admit just how much over I went on Octobers budget so instead I'm looking forward to November and we're going to aim for £280 again and this time I won't take DH to the supermarket and we will stick to it!
