    Hi

    Joining in as well. £100 for September hopefully much less as absolutely broke this month. This will be for food, nappies, toiletries, cleaning and probably petrol for me and a 7 and 3 year old plus ad hoc visitors in the form of friends and family at least twice a week. Bit of a challenge, not much of a choice lol!!!
    Separated 17/06/10, now dealing with the fallout
    House sold and debt cleared 23rd May 2014. Now saving to get married!
    Current savings £0
