Soooo OH and Ihave realied we really need to tighten our belts and get sensible.

Food shopping this week was tricky as we've actually go no money!! THank god for nectar points and sainsburys basics range!!

I think we've got enough food to last us till pay day now atleast and enough money for travel for this week...next week could be hit and miss!

We've decided not to have direct debits on our bills this time around and it seems to work better as come payday i pay all the bills first and what we're left with is our spending money.

Now off to try and find ways to make more money!!

We got a bugeting spreadsheet last night and sat now and estimated what we think we spend each month. Hopefully this will help us keep a check on where we are.
I've also made a food planning spreadsheet for the month a head. Going to try so hard to stick to our budget!
