hi all, thanks for the welcome to the thread.......

i have decided i might as well start todaywith the challenge.

i have to go and get my sons birthday present today which, of course, is very neccessary:), i also have to pick up a few groceries, which i am hoping with my stock cupboard challenge will last me until monday...a challenge to see how little i can spend on that too:)

with my birthday this week and the meal we are having...(which will be my one and only night out for april) i have also joined moozies sun to fri challenge and have set a budget of 40.00 for the week...this includes the meal:D

hopefully, with all these challenges i will be back in the black for may:):T

i am keeping track of everything on a spread sheet!!!!

will report back later with an update..hopefully i wont have been tempted!!!

Hi All
You are all sounding very positive and I would love to join you on your challenge.
I have managed not to spend anything that I haven't needed yet but I am just about to go and do the shopping for the month ahead.
I have my menus for the month and also my shopping list so there's no need for me to go off course.
I would love to buy some plants for my hanging baskets/planters but have managed to resist. I do know I will be buying 3 chickens soon but that will give me enough eggs for myself and some to sell.
Good luck!!

Welcome Kittyboo, good to have another person on the challenge!!:T

Mappy girl I'm so so sorry, just realised I haven't congratulated you on your new job. Really sorry, but wishing you all the best!!:j

Glad everyone's still so positive about this challenge. I'm up for a NSD today - have brought my lunch into work and not going anywhere later.

Keep updating and speak soon x:D
