I started my month early due to Mr T having an offer on GF foods and dog food so stocked up on both. I need to check the receipt to see what counts towards the total, about £80 I think.
We really need to come in on budget this month, if not significantly under, as we have a lot to pay out over the next few weeks with weddings, stag do's, a day at the races, hen nights, wedding outfits, chunnell tickets a couple of nights in a hotel and the dog his due his booster!!!!
DH is away on a stag do this bank holiday weekend so I will try and live out of the cupboards and freezer and not do a shop until he gets back. If I could make it til 30th I will have saved myself a whole weeks shop:DSave £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
Make £2021 extra income - £99.750 -

tessie bear - don't know if this will help but one of my old flatmates used to cook normal rice in a jug in the micro - you have to put the exact amount of water in iykwim - if you google it you might get instructions? His always turned out well.Part time working mum | Married in 2014 | DS born 2015 & DD born 2018
