It's been a total disaster this month and I'm declaring £219.52!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Oh well, onwards and upwards I guess. I won't dwell on it.
See you in April.

DFD 1st March 2011 :T
We spent £193.96 in March, which takes our total so far on our yearly challenge to £374.17 so far (just 83p under where we should be!!). Have got a bit of food in but cupboards not exactly bursting, need to start cutting back a little.
DH doesn't really help though - I put a chicken in the SC yesterday, and he's been cooking tea -that one chicken has only lasted 2 evening meals for two people!! I couldn't even eat half my tea tonight it was so huge, so that'll do me for lunches tomorrow and Saturday. I can't moan cos he's only trying to help, but I would have made that last us 3 or 4 meals each at least.
See you all in April - I don't post often but I do read regularly to keep me on the straight and narrow!

Interestingly, I spoke to my brother about a week ago - where he told me he was having a spend free month too!! Interesting that we both independently arrived at the same challenge at the same time. And no, we're not freaky telepathic twins!! His challenge allowed basics such as bread/milk etc - so he spent about £12 for the month.
Anyway Mrs Ramjet comes home today - my exams all finished - for now!! :beer:
