I'm going to declare this a good month :T It was definitely under £250 but I lost one of my receipts

Mrs M ~ Please could you put me down for £250 again in November? I'm going to meal plan as I really need to lose some weight, my poor legs get really tired and my back is achy!! :rotfl:

Hang in there - as with de1amo, my ex husband has learnt how to live with his depression, and pretty much has control of it, without medication, so there is hope

I just wish there was a higher success rate with BPD - still, we have to keep trying, as the alternative isn't acceptable.[/QUOTE]

The thing with bi polar is once your well it no longer exists as an issue in its-self--the meds i take keep me on the low side of normal so at times coupled with things life throws at me(middle-age) i can fall into malaise.--a good side of the meds is that i stay within an emotional spectrum--i never get over excited and i never fall too fall into dispondency--just directional malaise due to middle age!
İf my grocery challenge ever rises to 1000s you know i am ill!!--spending huge amounts is an early warning sign!

Right finally caught up with October's thread, still have November's to go though! I have almost been having withdrawal symtoms the last few days as real life got in the way and prevented me from posting!

Mrs M, could I please declare at an appalling £611.28 against my £450 target and can I try again for £450 please for November.

I really need to get a new slow cooker - mine has a big crack in the bottom of it.

Hello to all newbies and good luck to everyone for November.

There's a 6.2 ltr slowcooker at $15 in Arg*s,if that's any use,Offer's on till 2 november [it's in their half price sale]

Morning everybody

As you can see from my sig I'm about £100 over and have no excuses really!
As it was half term I decided to do an A*da shop on Weds which ended up at about £70 and toyed with putting it in November to make myself feel better but I've left it:D.
Not declaring 'til tomorrow night so things will get even worse!
Have a good weekend.

£1.65 on toothpaste. I reckon that's it for this month:j

I'm just putting together Novembers meal plan and getting that ordered from Mr A online. So I'm declaring £109.89 for October out of a budget of £130 :beer:

MancMillyMolly

Over budget fopr me, although not by too much.

I'm declaring £370.40 from a £350 budget. There's always next month

MMM

Changingme

Total spends for the month £281.58 I have stocked up on some things.

mum2b

ARGH I have totally lost track of this thread now, things have been pretty manic at work etc etc......anyway my total spends are £240.22 which I am very proud of even though it is over budget (£225)!!!
I blame approved foods and if I hadn't placed my first order this month I would have been under budget by £8.04 hey ho!
Please could you put me down for £225 again this month? Seems to work for us.......
We are having celebration take away tonight, DP proposed yesterday ) Bring on the champers, choccie and junk :beer:

Diflower

Oh wow congratulations mum2b, definitely cause for celebration:T

Well we are still in October so still going over budget. On the other hand, November should be off to a lean start as there won't be much needed.
Also the freezer has a better selection in it now, it's not very big and was only run down and defrosted at the beginning of October so that's one excuse I shall stick to.
Sig updated and hopefully finished but may go and get eggs tomorrow.
