ThanksI, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Declaring at £5,200 for 2010 out of a budget of £6000. Adding up the totals it came to £4976 but I think Ive lost some receipts in December so Ive added £200 on top as I don't want to "kid myself"!

well pleased it is well under budget so trimming it for 2011 is the right thing to do!Annual Grocery budget 2018 is £1500 pa £125 calendar month £28.84 pw for 3 adults0 -
Slightly over for December - £50.34 instead of £50, but not too bad I guess! Will now update my sig for the New Year.
