Oh well, onwards and upwards. See you all on the June thread

Tomorrow will be a NSD so am declaring £260.12 from a budget of £220 - oops something went wrong somewhere but it is the first time this year and am hoping that its just a slip up and not the start of things to come.
I have been working out the spread sheet and fruit & veg was again what we spent the highest percentage on so pleased about that again.
Off to put a pizza in now as grandson here and he has asked for pizza & salad followed by strawberries and crème fraiche.

£1517 today.

4 jars of canderal sweetener as it was half price. Milk, kids yogs, a tiger loaf, pizza for kids dinner tomorrow.

Had to spend £5 in sains to get free parking whilst the kids were bowling. So I bought 3 packs of half price bacon (£2 each for 10 rashers) 2 packs ave gone in the freezer and one in the fridge for dinner tonight. Had McDonald's for lunch so bacon sarnies all round for dinner

I keep forgetting to get juice!

really hoping you just missed the full stop and didnt spend 1517.00 today :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well done on getting free parking for the half price bacon win win win.

Never mind the juice, think I`d go for a bottle of wine, you deserve it

With the lovely weather over the weekend, I went wild on BBQ stuff - I bought fresh meats (which is a rare thing for me! I usually buy frozen as it's cheaper). I am pretty sure this has pushed me over budget, but I am not sure how much this pushed me over by (I don't keep receipts, just use cash). Still, tomorrow marks the start of a new month, and a new budget!

Declaring at €166.85 for May, managed to get some things that will see us well into June, but will make things a bit easier.

Lost track a bit this month but think I spent around £450 which isn't great...

Morning All!

Declaring May £237.82 which is £42.18 under budget but still seems a heck of a lot considering boys were with their dad for three weekends. Feeling a little frustrated!

Will be moving over to June now. See you there

Have a lovely weekend
