Hope everybody had a lovely Christmas.

Spent £8.31 on Christmas Eve and have had 3 NSDs since then! I was going to have a Mr A delivery tomorrow but I'm going to cancel it until Saturday because I reckon that as we are going away for New Year we can just about last. Really trying not to spend money now!

Hello everyone, i hope you had a lovely Christmas (I had..... I wasn't cooking!!! :j)

I haven't posted here for over a week because I haven't been shopping for over a week, which is truly fantastic. Today though, I spent £42.12 in MrW, which leaves me with £62.86 in the pot for December. Should be fine, provided I don't get caught in the headlights of all those post-Christmas discounts..... :cool:

Declaring at £88.30 for December.

This is against a target of £100, so really pleased.

I haven't posted much this month as the idea was to live off the storecupboard. But I had so many meals pre-cooked from previous batch cooking sessions that I still haven't used much up & still have 20 individual meal portions in the freezer!

Have signed up for Frugal Living in 2010. And haven't worked out the budget yet. So will come back with the Jan budget when I have.

Can I join for January please? I did the GC a few months back and it was succesful, but I kinda fell by the wayside. But I seriously need to get back on track. I've been using up my store cupboard stuff so I'm starting 2010 a fresh.

Put me down for £125 for Jan. This is for just me, but includes food, toiletries etc.

Hi everyone,

I've booked MrT to deliver tomorrow as I have to go to work and won't be up to shopping when I get home. Delivery is just £2.50 for the next few days.

I've made a meal plan for the next three and a bit weeks, and have ordered everything I need, barring some fruit and veg. Total is showing at £107 but I have ordered several multibuys, so once I have the real total I'll update my sig.

• I would like to declare my Annual Total for 2009 as £1940 ( £330 Over ) but would have been worse much if it were not for this challenge, so I am quite pleased really.
• Please could you put me down for an Annual Total of £1300 for 2010 (Slightly optimistic I think:rolleyes:)
• Many Thanks to MrsMcC, rosieben and helen jelly for all their hard work this year

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
