    I am trying to go for £45pw inc diesel. I allocate £75pw, so all money not spent is going towards a warm holiday this year hopefully...health permitting!

    Thanks for the new thread Pink-Winged.

    Hi all, I'm another one who has resolved to post on here often as part of my New Years resolution to take my spending and our eating in hand.

    Hi i'm in as lost the way in December! I will start from 1st to keep things simple for myself!! I have done a meal plan trying to use up everything that i have and this is for 10 days! BUT if there is still stuff to be used up i am using it before i shop! I'm sorting my life out in 2011 and this is a good area to start. xx

    Im in

    Im aiming for £4680 per year which equates to £390 a month or £90 a week or £12.82 a day

    I think I am going to try daily rate for this month and see what happens!!! Anything left over at the end of the day will be put into a pot and banked at the end of every week. My totals are for food and cleaning products only.

    Good luck everyone and heres to a happy penny pinching 2011 x
