Hi everyone,

Please can I try for £200 again this month?

I will get there eventually, that is the planned budget amount so it's just a case of sticking to the plan! Think I might try and plan a month's meals this time, see how it goes...

Afternoon

Thank you to Pink winged, Mrs M and Rosieben for running the thread, much appreciated.

Mrs M, Sorry to be a pain but I'd like to go back to monthly from annual.
I've realised that anything more complicated than 'here is your money for the month, try not to go over it' is too taxing for me:o
And I'm not a big stockpiler so my outgoings don't change that much from month to month so I don't think there's much point in me being annual.
So please could you put me down for £450 for March.

I'm going to have a reccy and make a meal plan for the week this afternoon. Don't you just love a shiny new month!

Good luck everybody for March!

Hello,
I completely lost the plot last month but this month I need to be very strict as my cooker has died and I need to replace it!!:mad:
Please can you put me down for £275.00 for March, my month will begin on Friday as it is payday!:T
hope everyone has a good month.

Thanks for starting the thread up pink, rosie and mrs m:D

Didn't post much last month, but i can safely say what we spent about £86.01 for the whole of February including party food, and the stuff that went with it.

I will be keeping more of a tab in March and i'm trying to keep an eye on the budget even more.

Good luck all for March!
