Today is the end of my January challenge - I managed 22 NSD out of 20 aimed for.
I am going to go for 22 NSD for February.
I ended the month with an underspend of £54.09 - this is tucked away for ? Not sure yet.
I get my pension tomorrow so will state £100 for February GC.
I am starting a second purse with £10 tomorrow.

Thanks to those who run this thread.

Small shop £11.93 today. Didn't REALLY need it - other than Pepsi Max but there were a couple of good offers and I am under budget.

Here is a photo of tonight's dinner - Roast Pork/Roast Potatoes/Roast Parsnip/Cabbage/Onion/Swede/Garlic and Gravy.

It's lovely seeing your dinners, thank you for posting the pictures. Can I ask how do post them up.

I put them in Flickr via digi camera & PC.

He said 'no problem, call me Mr TF the spreadsheet geek'

costco do have a website but theres nowt on it :rotfl:
i just get a booklet every so often with the offers , it would be great if they listed all their stuff , because its such a big place you cant possibly check alll the prices

It is pretty basic isn't it :rotfl:Though the American one has a full blown website, shame ours doesn't have one that can be accessed from a members only area.

We walked in and signed up in a little area and then went in the main door and it was like Woah!! where do we start? We were in there 4 hours and didn't see everything.

Cheating slightly as spent £8.10 at Morrisons yesterday (bread, clementines, bananas, pineapple, chicken and 2 x body spray), but am going to count it as February spends as most of it won't be used until later this week.

So, i'm declaring £48.82 for January. If the lists are being done yet, please can you put me down for £55.00 for February.

I really need to make an effort using my freezer contents as every drawer is crammed full

Total spend so far this year is £303.33 - slightly above target, not worried though I have nappies for at least a month (possibly 2) and enough main meal makings for the same Also LOADS of cereal, dishwasher tabs and washing powder... oops! Still.... wonder if I can keep Feb spends below £100...??? :eek:
