Evening all

I am in again for May please, my challenge month will run from 25th April to 24th May as pay day is 25th (tomorrow :j). I am going to reduce my budget by £20, so please could my May budget be set at monthly amount of: £280. Thanks!

This might be pushing it a bit for me, but will have a go, in any case it will keep me on straight and narrow by setting a target. As before, this is for all food/drink and kitchen supplies, toiletries and loo rolls, laundry/cleaning stuff and guinea pig/garden bird supplies.

Have stuck a post-it on my handbag to remind me to buy M*rror tomorrow to get Ald* voucher, should help towards a good start for May.

Thanks to all who run the thread, it's so helpful and good luck everyone.

Hi

Could you put me down for £450 please, must try harder this month!;)

My month starts tomorrow and it's a 5 weeks month for me so please put me down for €750.

I'll be declaring my total on April tomorrow and it's looking good for coming in just under budget!

Hi Everyone.

My month doesn't begin until Tues 30 April but I thought I would get in early.

Have decided to use a weekly CASH budget, rather than monthly debit card budget. Hopefully this will keep me on the straight and narrow - it sure needs to as I've only been doing this two months and haven't managed anywhere near my budget yet lol!

Four week (and 2 days, but won't worry about those!) month so please put me down for £70 per week - totalling £280 for the month. Thank you!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend xx

Ald1 this morning clutching my voucher in hand - stocked up on some essentials and a few treats, now the cupboards are feeling full. Have made lasagne this morning, 8 portions, some for tonight and rest for freezer. Next to make: pizzas to freeze, banana cake, minestrone soup.

Oh no! Voucher clash! Do I spend £40 in Mr T's to get £5 off next week or do I go for Ald*? why do they have to overlap dates! I can see my budget being de-railed already :-/

Hi folks, please can you put me down for £150 again. Going to try and get back onto tracking what I spend. This will be a 5 week month for me so I am aiming for £25 per week plus £25 contintency.

I have my family coming round for dinner on Sunday but it will be an informal day as I have told them it is a bring a dish style event. I am really looking forward to it as we have not all been togather since Christmas. The cost for this will still come oout of my monthly budget.

Also just used a £12 off £80 spend, so tipping me just over ...AGAIN also. Will be pushed to spend another £80 before next week.
