    Hi everybody

    I've been MIA for the last couple of months as RL has taken over. Hubby had a contract to fullfill which meant him working 6 days a week, usually til late at night. But we've come back down to earth now as thats finished and his next job is September!

    Added to that our faithful old girl of 14 years was pts. Our 2 remaining dogs are missing her terribly, even though she was an old grouch towards the end.

    Sooooo, time to get my mojo back and start meal planning.

    Could you put me down for £100 for July please. This is only for food for the two of us. Dog food is in a seperate budget. While I was shopping with wild abandon I managed to stock up on lots of thing - enough washing powder and softener to last until the end of the year, likewise teabags and coffee, all bought while on special offer.

    Sorry for the long post (for me!), but its great to back with you all. I have been reading but have been too naughty to post!!

    Morning all

    Spent £14.42 yesterday - I quite enjoy spending after having a couple of NSDs!
    Don't think I will quite make my budget but will not be far out.
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.
  • Good morning everyone,

    Mrs.Mc could you please put Highland Fling down for £150 for July GC. Thanks. I am dropping my target by £10 this month as I will be away on holiday for a few days. Will be eating out quite a bit but that is from a different budget.
    Think I have quite a bit in already to construct my meal plan this month so don't envisage a huge shop for July. (famous last words)

    Good luck everyone in coming in on target for June. Only a couple of days to go and I think I am going to make it.:j
    It takes a long time to eat an elephant and I'm doing it a bite at a time!!!
