    Not sure what my total is but will get up to date once ive found statements etc

    Hope everyone is well xx

    Congrats xJOJOx :j:j:j:j

    Purpleroses congrats on being debt free :T:T:T I will update the roll of honour now :) Sorry I haven't been on for a couple of days!

    R-O lovely to see you again! I spend a lot on food too for a family of 4 (and a bit!) usually £100 a month but I buy most things in the supermarkets all toiletries, clothes for kids, party presents etc so actual food may be around £80-90 mark.

    Amr - lentil lasagne recipe
    JoJo - congratulations on the birth of your daughter :)
    R-O - that's not bad going at all :) over 1/4 of your weekly amount saved.

    My cat is a little &!%t, I buy them really nice fresh chicken & liver from the butchers, I buy her steak and mince as well and she has gone on hunger strike for 3 days until I caved and had to buy her kibble :( She chowed it all down happy as larry, her and I are not friends.

    2 days to payday :D Debt increased this month after house-move and buying a sofa, but only by a few £100 so all in all quite happy with that.

    I'm hoping to do a curry class in September, as it's one of my weak points when it comes to cooking, you could try a general cooking class if it takes your fancy, but cooking is easy if you try!

    I'd start with cakes if I were you :) My trick to making them rise is to use an electric mixer :rotfl:
