I made my second ever thing at crochet today. I started yesterday and embellished it today. I'm kinda proud of it.....


I was given a huge bag of yarns, 2 books and a few hooks and needles yesterday off freecycle so I'm eager to try everything!!

Love the hat,I was also given some white boucle yarn, and seeing that I think I will get out my crocheting hook tonight.:T

A small spend in Tescos this evening. My last one for the month, and I've officially come in under budget at £45.85/£50!

That's 3 months in a row that I've made it. Feeling pleased with myself.

I made it! I've not spent anything else on groceries since my last post, (even though I went to the huge Mr T's to get a cardigan with my double up vouchers), so I've come in at £1.03 under budget and I'm declaring at £98.97 for November.

This week we've had to use up all the bits and bobs of cereal, as I didn't buy any last week, so we have now just about got enough for tomorrow, I've even had to use the value porridge (that I usually only use for bulking out mince etc) as I ran out of the other porridge. I also used up a few things from the freezer, including the quorn mince, that I've had for ages and was due to go OOD at the end of this month, to make a savoury crumble, which did us for 2 nights meals.

Well done everyone - a pretty good month for loads of us. I'm declaring at £310.37/£300 but that's OK as I cut £100 for Nov. I've got a nice bit extra for December. See you over there.

Well done to everybody else.
JJ, love the crochet. It really is very nice, well done :T.
I must move over to the December thread now. See you all over there.

Hi, not been on for a good while. I would like to declare £81.59, which is £1.59 over budget, i will settle for that, but it would be nice to come in on budget at least once. Will have to have a serious think about what to put for December. Looks like loads did good this month, well done everyone. JJ, love the hat.

Wow I can't believe it's December already. It was my first month completing this challenge so my initial target was a bit of a guess. I can proudly announce that I knocked my target out of the water and am declaring at £154.80 (target was £300).

I'm off now to find Decembers thread.

Just spend £10.21 in Asda but used an £8 oddAPG.

Bought loads of stuff for a curry later and salad as I really fancy some.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Didn't have time last night but have just totalled everything up and am declaring Nov at £214.31 out of £260 so under by £45.69 more than happy with that for now. :j

Have already set Dec budget earlier so off to there now.

Well done everyone who has taken part even if you have not achieved your goal this month - keep at it you will get there one day. I had a terrible month in October in fact it was :eek: :mad:
