    Please put rej-c down for £200 for August.

    That's £50 less than the July budget. Not sure how we'll do, but the gas and electricity bills will be coming in soon [shudder], so we need to maintain the downward trend. Still, we have plenty in [and need to start running down the freezer a bit to free up a drawer for housemate who's moving in next month], so that will help.

    Off to a good start with an NSD. I hope to manage at least three a week, but that'll mean such a massive change of habits, we'll see :o

    Good luck everyone, and thanks to those running the thread.
    Haven't done the GC since February, but a glance at the Tower of Receipts tells me I really need to get back into it... and plenty of other Challenges besides. :o

    I am having only £50.00 this month as I am away for two weeks from 14-28th and I am shopping seriously from my freezer as much as possible.I am also now starting to run down some of my fresh food this week from the fridge, and will only buy small amounts of milk F&V ect as I go along.The more I can save the more ice-creams for the kids on the beach :)
    Good luck every one with the new month
