Good morning everyone,

going out for lunch today but someone else is paying so won't really need much to eat this evening. Plan to have a good look in freezer and make my meal plan, also plan to make lentil soup for tomorrows lunch. Might make apple crumble, have some stewed apples to use up, really depends how motivated I am when I come back home.

Thanks for the link to the pocketmod,very useful:T

Hope you all have a good day.

Hello everyone,

first of all, I do not know if I am allowed to post here and I apologise in advance if I cannot (helen jelly feel free to slap me -but only virtually!) . As per my previous posts, I did not join the GC challenge this month as I have been away. Upon my return I decided I missed it so I set myself a £150 budget for the period 15th to 30th November included, of which I have already spent 88.44 (with 61.56 left in the pot).

Can I post my running totals here, or is this allowed only for those people who are listed in the 'front page' of the thread?

Feel free to tell me not to post and I shall wait patiently for next month's challenge, no worries at all

Hi - apologies for missing you off the front page, I'll add you on in a mo. Post your amounts as often as you like as alot of people find that posting helps to keep them focused or helps to show where they are over-spending. I'm off to update you now - Helen x
