    After another spend of £2 in £ shop, and £11 in i*eland, I'm happily declaring at £118.75 for April! I have to say it's lucky a new month starts tomorrow as I'm running out of a few things.

    Declaring at £363.96which is an overspend of £30. However for Jan Feb and March I had a total UNDERSPEND of £68.94 so I am still on track with an extra £38 at my disposal should I need it during May! I am very happy with that when I look in my cupboards!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I spent £4.50 in Ald1 and £10.46 in Mr S. Got milk, coffee, beansprouts, lettuce, marmalade and lemon curd. Forget the rest.
    That's £14.96 added to my total which makes me £5.99 over. Declaring £255.99 for April.
    See you all in May. Good luck.

    declaring 227.39/275.00 for April so good month so I'm going to try for £225 in May. I think it helped that I did some bulk buying in March and a lot of cat food etc didn't need to be bought in April.

    Declaring £300 /250 for April. So over budget as predicted. :o

    I am consoling myself with the fact that 6 months ago I used to spend over £400 a month. On top of that DH used to buy his lunch everyday, spending between £150-200 a month. So whilst £300 is definitely not as low as I want, it is certainly moving in the right direction, and no where near as bad as it could be.

    Hopefully May will be more successful.
