Hi again everyone,
Okay, I'm all caught up with the Feb thread now! Went to MrS today on the way home from work. Spent £36.21 on some f&v, packed lunch bits and a couple of treats
Our GC runs until the last day of the month. We will be under this month as spends from last week were from our holiday budget. Can you believe 4 baguettes and 4 500ml drinks at Geneva airport cost £37 :eek:
Off to update sig and start reading March's thread.

Hope you enjoyed your holiday Coxy!
Spent £1.88 today on two bottles of Mr M cola and value bran flakes. Wanted milk and a couple of bits of veg too but had forgot my purse and only had £2 in my pocket, so will need to pick that up tomorrow.
Very quick and easy tea tonight as I was at the gym after work - OH's mum left us some HM chicken jalfrezi in the freezer when she visited, along with naans (bless her!) so we had with salad. Delicious and I'll need to get her recipe!Part time working mum | Married in 2014 | DS born 2015 & DD born 2018

Hi everyone
Well declaring a huge £313.18 :eek::eek: out a supposed £150 budget so had a disastrous month this month. Don't know how that happened other than unexpected spend days and unplanned buying. Will have to knuckle down and start again on Friday for March.
More focussed now though so happy shopping everyone0 -

Had to grab a couple of bits from Aldi on Sunday, which took me up to £159.82 - leaving 18p in my budget with 4 days to go.
I've managed not to spend anything on Monday or Tuesday so I just need to see if I can get through the next two days without any spending.Debt free since December 2015. It can be done0
