sheeppappar

Hello all and glad people are feeling better x
thanks for running these boards... my march one is still going but will be fine.. april starts on thur so please put me down for £200 again.

doubt there is much chance of reducing as we have mr sheep's 2 for a week in the easter hols and also a week of another grown adult to feed! (mr sheep's friend coming to stay to be another pair of hands at work).. will def be looking in the recipe index for cheap + filling recipes when that week comes around...

I will be back once april starts.. good luck if you've already started xx

Can I be put down for £100 it is going to be tough as our budget is £160 normally but we need to save money.

Thanks for starting the April Challenge

Our lovely new kitchen is finally finished, so back to eating normally (instead of take outs/at friends/out) - so I'd like to rejoin the challenge please with a budget of

£200 for the month - this will include a big chunk of lamb for Easter - we normally are non meat but have friends over which gives Mr Fluffpot a chance to cook something meaty!

Good luck everyone

Many thanks

Can I go down for €300 this month please? Adding €50 on to the usual as have a few bulk buys planned (box of loo roll, cases of soy milk and bulk washing up liquid/laundry liquid).

Penny-Pincher!!

OH drew the £300 out today and has placed £60 in wallet for petrol to fill up and another £20 incase he's out and we need anything, so he doesn't put on the card.

April GC starts tomorrow for us. Have updated sig to include 50% of last months AF order as I promised I would because this was nearly all dried goods which will last us months so I didn't include the whole spend in March.

April is a 5 week month and the kids are at home for 2 weeks so it will be a challenge but I am always up for one of those these days:)
