    Well I've got bread, milk and fruit for the week so looks like I've made it through April within my £60 budget. Cupboards are pretty full so things looking good.

    Same again for May please. :)

    I know it doesn't sound a lot with such a comparatively high budget (£200) but I'm happy! And motivated that I could reduce it for May????!!!

  • oh dear, i know i must do it, but budgeting sounds very boring to me.
    bothersome and boring. but at the age of 33 it really is time.
    can it be interesting to write down everything i spend and use spreadsheets?
