RIGHT here's my target for November!

We have £1582 coming in in wages and child benefit, with £961.52 going out in bills leaving us with £440.47 left (That's taking into account £150 for food etc and £30 petrol). My husband has driving lessons at £19 a week so taking that into account we have £364.47 left. So £364.47 over 30 days makes £12 a day available for work food, treats etc (£6 each a day is more than enough IMO).
We also get £44 a week in tax credits as well as what I've just stated.. so the target is to save £44 a week as well as what's left over at the end of the week that hasn't been used out of the £12 a day.

Target savings for november - At least £176

Does that sound about right and can anyone tell me whether it's going to actually be possible?? LOL. I'll be on maternity leave so won't be spending my £6 a day either..

What do you think guys? My maths is rubbish so feel free to correct me if I've made any mistakes..
