    Morning all, count me in again - I would once again like to aim for £200 for the month please, you never know - this could be THE month I actually achieve it, but I do know it would be a lot higher if it wasn't for this challenge!!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

  • Huge thanks again to MRSMC, Pink-winged and rosieben for getting us going again - can't believe it's March already, scary!!

    Have already spent some of my March GC as I've ordered from DR again, it's not coming until the end of March but I've inlcuded it in this GC as I have the delivery that came last Friday to see us through this Month and the cost for that came out of Feb GC. Hope that makes sense.:cool:

    Need to check out the internet for Marg on special as we are down to our last tub.:eek: Also low on cooking marg and flour so a visit to the shops is in order later on.

    Have a good day everyone.:D

    Oh good a new thread! Thanks as ever to those who put in the hard working running it for us....

    Need to be more motivated this month. Still well under budget (annual) but meals have been severely lacking in inspiration, meal planning non existant and the freezer is getting very depleted so will have to try harder. Perhaps a trawl through what I have followed by a proper search through the many recipies here would be a start

    MrsM - Current annual total now £375.69
