  • morning all

    declaring at £315.26 for november= £15.26 over my budget.

    went over but a huge improvement and did get lots of christmas stuff (baileys, tinned meats, coffee etc) and a food parcel for ds at uni too, so not so bad really.

    Dont think i will be spending much today as we have loads of snow.....honestly the extremes i have to go to stop spending !!!!! will post December shortly when i have worked it out

  • Thanks JintyB I think i will as normally i would have spent up to twice what i have spent this month!! really looking forward to carrying on in December but think i will set a higher target and do tend to spend alot over xmas and have my DM visiting and DS1 home from uni. But 2011 this GC is going to be a lifesaver I am determined to reduce it by £100 over the year!

    Have a good day all I will declare later tonight and sign up for December thread when i am sure bread is all i will be getting.

    I definitely won't be doing any shopping today so will declare now at
    £307.06 for November.

    Still no snow here but blinking cold and a vicious wind.
    Celebrating as I completed the NaNoWriMo challenge last night,
    a day early, 50,000 words written in 29 days:)

    In theory this means the house will now be spotless and tidy, in practice it means more time to spend on here and doing some knitting:D

    Could I please be put down for £260 again for December.
    Thank you:)
  • £279.44 for November. 56p under budget :j

    Heavy snow here today. Had to go for a blood test this morning so after I nipped into the shop and got a few things including broccoli, swede, salmon fillets, ribs and some cheese. Total came to £11.15

    Total spends for Nov £238.80 So thats £11.20 under budget :T:T:T Well pleased especially after last months dismal failure.

    See you on the Dec. thread.
