Only just realised this runs Sun-Fri, so was only £2 over budget lol Not too bad in the end really for my 1st week

£42/£40

Hoping to do better next week, but off to Somerset for 3 days to take my kids to see my parents so bridge to get back home is instantly over £6

Well done all who kept in target.

Me too ETO

I'm trying to start a baking cupboard from scratch and adding a couple of bits to the basket each week - but it's adding up (hopefully some major savings with home baking soon!;))

Groceries - £38.42 / £30
Dog walker (in case I'm held up at hospital) - £5 / £5
Misc + Hospital (will need to get lunch) - £4.90 / £10

Total = £48.32 / £45

*sigh* Well done to all the Greens :T and well done to everyone else too - even if we do go over budget, I bet we'd be spending loads more if we weren't trying to stick to one!:D
