Well, Im adding another £20 to my total, had to get dog food ( she was being greedy the last few days and eating waaay more than usual!) needed potatoes from the local shop, few other bits and bobs.....
Up to £178.79 from my £250 challange, not bad, but I know Ive missed out things cos my brain is like a sieve sometimes lol!!
I will declare £178.79/£250 for January though :T:rotfl:
Will throw myself into Feb with more gusto and better planning!!Can't think of anything smart to put here...0 -

So I'll be back on track for February.
Well done everyone else on January efforts.

Winchelsea sorry for your loss sending hugs your way
I have cheated today and spent 65p from my sealed pot challange as i didnt want to break into a £10 i much prefer notes left over to coins. I shall be cheating tomorrow as well (well not really) i need some bread/milk and mushrooms tomorrow and have £10 left from this weeks GB (£20 has gone into the bulk buy purse :Ttaking it upto £55) and my feb budget starts on weds so i will also be buying for Feb tomorrow as i have managed to get a lift to Ald* so by buying tomorrow i will save on transport (dad is now on his ship heading towards Norway so i have lost him as my free taxi driver). Tea tonight is meatballs from the freezer with some grated cheese (from freezer possibly over a year old but seems ok :rotfl:). chicken curry ( lo chicken from sun)and rice for tomorrow possibly with nann bread.
