    Household - £53.09 / £100.00 under by £46.91.
    Eating out - £106.13 / £100.00 over by £6.13.
    Fun - £61.70 / £100.00 under by £38.30.

    Found the end of the week really hard. I'm setting the same target for feb, but already I'm worried I will fail as the Xmas stocks that helped in Jan are all eaten up! :rotfl:
