i'm also declaring this month as an overbudget. It's a shame as this is the first month this year I'm actually overbudget, and I liked the feeling of having a clean slate.... oh well...
Anyway, I have spent £282.05, which is £12.05 over budget.
As a punishment (
) I'm lowering my August budget to £260.
no really, it's not a self-inflicted punishment but something I must do because I need to save more. Let's see how this month goes!0 -
Although I'm not paid till next Monday, I'm declaring as I am not spending anything for the next week as I don't need anything. So declaring at:

Declaring at £319.22 ( £19.22 over budget). Very naughty - must try harder in August. I blame the kids and the school holidays - I don't know how they manage at school not eating for at least three hours - they can't cope that long at home!
