Hi

Declaring at £412.60/£380 - not too bad (I say that every month but I never quite manage it!)
Well done all of us anyway!

Well,

WOW!!! Well done everyone! :T:T:T

Absolutely brilliant to see your wonderful achievements and that includes anyone who is still with us at the end of the month, under or over. The important thing is as I've said before, this is a learning curve and each challenger will learn at their own pace so please don't knock yourself out if you didn't get there first time. The discipline will come and eventually will be like second nature, honest. Give yourself a huge pat on the back, you deserve it! :T:T:T

We managed to hang on until this morning for milk and OH got that along with a couple of other bits in the Coop so the sig is all updated. So, declaring at £180.66 for January please. Quite chuffed with the NSD this month too as we managed 23 which is much more like where I want to be. Actual spend for the month in total including stock ups is £286.57 so I would be £46.57 over if I budgetted that way.

I'm off to the Feb thread but will keep popping back to see how those still going are doing and see other declarations.

Take care,
Spigs

Declaring at £426.51 so over by £26.51. I love second purse but must stop squirreling away in it. Just use some stores and pay up!

Had the massive (£1300) spend on the car this month so def carrying on - the latest unexpected spends are a cracked windscreen (that's tyres, brakes and windscreen this month - hope that's the three). DS laptop remains at PC W***d after they "fixed it" - we asked for the data to be recovered, they wrote it down as a hardware fault and wiped the disk. We are currently testing the tech guy's forensic recovery capabilities (day four) and six 12 mile round trips so far. Not happy...:mad::mad::mad:

Well done and thanks to everyone - ideas, support, sharing of frustrations, achievements and everything. :A See you in Feb

Well done everyone on getting through the month, whether it was under, over or on budget.

I still haven't had the guts to add mine up to see how far I am over. I will do it soon, I promise.

We had Mrs-Moneypenny's Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese pie for dinner tonight. DH moaned like boggery when he came in about not having any meat and how he was a working man and he needed his portion of meat. Licked his plate clean

Thank you MrsM :T

I'm declaring at £213.50/£200.
Slightly over since we seemed to buy a lot of late night snack bits and the month seemed sooo long. I'm hoping to suceed in February at last as it's only a 4 week month:o. If I don't then I will have to just pop my budget to £220 and try to get it under that. I find I have much less time to cook and shop around now I'm working full time and OH gets alot of our bits of shopping as well which is uncontrolled by me:eek:.. he's a bit addicted to the whoopsie run so is always spending moey every night..I must try to get him more under control!!
