    Declaring £146.79/£130 :(

    I did come under budget in January and February though, so I was expecting an overspend at some point...

    See you all in April. :D

    Evening all

    Not posted much this month, and really gone over my budget, but I'll keep on keeping on, and try harder next month! :D

    I'm declaring March at £484.56, well over! :(

    Will try to keep up more on the April thread - I read a lot even if I don't get time to post.

    I have done really badly this month.

    Declaring at £108.22 when I'd set a target of £60. Looking back at last year I spent over £200 in March which makes me feel better.

    New target for April is going to be £100

    Hey everyone (anyone still out there...?)

    Declaring at £445.84 for March from a budget of £450. Very happy with that.

    See you all on the April thread.

    Hi gone over this month for the first time this year,declaring £268.04 . Only £8 over and we entertained the whole family over Easter so that's not so bad plus I had a £5 voucher for Aldi if I spent £40 so I am stocked up for April.Doing the GC has certainly made me a better shopper and my credit card bill at the end of the month is now only a quarter of what it used to be.
    Looking forward to April.
