Another fail here for June, epic one at £506, instead of £450!! Quite annoyed, as I had planned well to start with; never mind, popping over to July now with girded loins!

£10.50 spend in the C*-*p, incl £1 off so brings my spends to approximately £15 ish over now. Shouldn't need anything tomorrow hopefully except maybe bread ( or baguettes, as me and DD2 love them. Did try and bake a loaf yesterday but for some reason it didn't mix properly. So not sure what went wrong as i followed method and i have had my breadmaker years. Also tried the soft bap mix from AF, but needs less water than recommended as i had to add extra flour to thicken it up and so once baked you could taste it! So trial and errorGC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £69.15/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

Hey ho, onwards and upwards! Going over to July now!0 -
Going to declare a ridiculous £493.33/375 for June. Completely blew it but kept a tally to know exactly where everything went wrong. My excuses? 5 week month and my birthday plus taking my eye off the ball completely. Off to July to see if I can do better this month!!!!

Another NSD here to see the month out. Seem to be averaging eleven a month; but could probably get it higher and the SD lower!GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £69.15/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

Dad went to Ald*s and didn't know til he was there, but he picked up some tuna for me, mayo and paracetamol. I thought i had some and haven't and i have pulled a muscle in my neck, so it was necessary.

Declaring at €160 for June, not sure that is very accurate, as being away and then ill I think that OH and DD4 may have been responsible for a few bits and bobs.
