    Please can you put me down for £325 for November's challenge? I'm going to include all Christmas food and hopefully drink in the next two months.

    Thanks

    Hello all - still on October until Sunday, but can I please have a Nov budget of £425, Mrs M :D Have taken budget down by £25 - could probably go lower, but it's close to Xmas, and all that ;) I also know that I could do with stocking up on nappies (must check if they're VATable!) and loo rolls. And we're down to 1 bottle of shampoo (for 6 of us!)

    Will join in fully when I've finished Oct :)

    Forgive me for i have sinned!!:o Went WAY over budget,however i have a freezer FULL of food and a stock cupboard the same. My November will start tomorrow when my 'S'shop comes and end on 27th. Needed lots of things like shower gel, washing powder etc and I also bought a mop!! It came to £68.77. Was originally £91 but with codes and savings got quite a bit off so happy with that. So this month i'm really going to try for
    £200

    Thanks Cheryl - I guessed they probably would be (they're not exactly truly essential, after all...) - will look for some good offers and stock up then :) DS3 is only 17 months, so have no plans for potty training yet ;)
