Oh dear money, there's no hope for us, although I'm doing my best to stick to the £500.... I feel terrible when I read other peoples diaries as they manage on much less.... it's not as if we even eat fancy food and I'm always batch cooking and most of my shopping is done in Aldi - help!!

Ditto Lula and MC. very careful, shop mostly aldi, batch cook. There is 5 of us plus 3 cats but when I read other peoples diaries....

I think I've just resounded myself to the fact that I'm never going to be able to manage to do it for less than £500 per month. Meh!!

Begining to feel same, hence grocery being a goal but no longer write in my failure each month in my sig. Do genuinely believe that I am very frugal and careful.

Having a stupendusly long worky week, was already down for a 6 day stretch but it seems like everyone has become a long day. Think will be well over 60 hours by end of week, mon (10) tue (6 +shopping and options evening at school for dd1) Wed (10.5) thu (12.5) fri (12.5) sat (12) is that 64? Thing is, offered 3 ot shifts this week, and I know they wont be any more after begin June, so am grabbing. Off on Sunday! Very mmmm interesting day at work, culminating in a very bizarre work related lift in the back of a police car (no wasn't naughty!) , can't say how completely unique the day was, but will give me a after dinner story to dine out on for a while... NP -- he was very eye candy!

Heehee , they usually are!!
We are same , just yellow stickers and reductions. Last night we did shopping and £80 lighter on leaving. OH did remind me that there was no meat either, but we always buy reductions if we need them or not and freeze them. faulse ecomomy maybe... i dont know!
Also i have no pactience for different bank accounts. When we got married i did ie for wedding, honeymoon , house. But then when fraud hit i thought just keep it simple!! ( as it was hard to remember exactly what was in each!!). Now Paypal is just clothes( shhhh) and presents.

The one who came to my house wasn't the Hugh Jackman type I was hoping for - total waste of time reporting a crime if they can't even be ars*d sending someone decent, if you ask me. That's the last time I stage a break-in:p
