    I failed miserably with the house move, and not having a routine, I was just buying as I went along! Spending £224.24!! and the budget was £150!!

    I shall aim for £175 for February AND HOPE i DO BETTER!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

  • Hi - not had much of a chance to log on as late and I have missed reading encouraging messages to keep me on track and have gone drastically over again at £225.56 although about £20 of this is for Feb. Can you please put me down for £160 for Feb. Many thanks.

    Declaring at £128.57 for Jan £3.57 over but really pleased as miles less than normal & freezer still quite full but store cupboards looking a bit bare. Have already listed Feb target at £175, a bit extra to restock cupboard but still less than normal £250-£300 monthly spend

    Declaring at £230ish/£200

    To be honest, can't really remember! Some of that was from Mr Lotti's account, and some from mine, and mostly from the joint account... Bit worrying considering very little alcohol and we ate out a bit... ho hum, off to the February thread! :D
