Pearla*Merle, I've added your Smoked Sausage, Apple & Onion Tart recipe to the index. :beer: sounds lovely, I've also added it to my recipes file

Possession on the make do and mend thread has posted this link for GF recipes, I've added it to the recipe index.

Can I join this month please. Having lost my job finances really tight, but have quite a lot in freezer and cupboard, so 2 adults & 1 child - £200 I think will be realistic.

Thanks for running this thread:T

Hi everyone. Just planning November and am going to really try and challenge myself this month to try and stash a bit of extra cash way for Christmas.

Can you put me down for £200 for the month. This is for four of us and a cat and needs to include everything.

Good luck everyone :j

Budget has gone out the window lately in a few aspects of our lives!

Setting a realistic £200.. We normally aim too low and give up! X

My November started on the 19th of October and I am aiming to come in under £500 for my 5 week month. It is a generous budget but I am yet to come in under budget. I am cutting my self a bit of slack for the rest of the year and if I can manage £500 I can then start chipping away at it.

I have a Mr T order booked for Friday that I keep fiddling about with:rotfl: I hav an £8 off £80 voucher to use so will stock up on some bits for Christmas which comes out of a different budget to use the voucher.

Tattycash, it's entirely up to you! Some people do just for food, some do food, toiletries etc, some do all of the above and eating out. I have a seperate budget for treats and stuff so I would have bought cake tins from that but it depends on your own budgets etc. If it were me I wouldn't take it out of my grocery budget. Hope that helps!
