Potentially in the Autumn............not a firm date as such but working on it!

I thought you meant that groceries were £230 over budget ... nearly had a heart attack :D

Am working on cleaning plantpots and finding drainage stones for all the little chilis - if I can grow them, I guarantee *anyone* can!

Such exciting news about the wedding - and you *know* you've got to be well - so lots of greens, lots of herbal tonics, anything you can. Stay healthy so you can enjoy it all :j

Oh goody L I'm sure we'll manage between us

Trying to set a budget for June, two trips doon sooth, not easy trying to fathom it....

But so far spent £5.78 on mainly fruit/veg and £14.32 on meds and shopping.

So food budget £20.10/200 (I'm aiming for £200 again, one day I'll reach it)

Pippilongstocking

Petrol for trip (1000 miles) £155
Ferries - £130
Snackage £15

So trip one - £300 + treats/pressies for staying at chums

Trip 2 - 400 miles (retun in July budget ) petrol - £65
Ferries - £150 (different route)

Normal petrol - £120 is a normal working month, so let's see if it's the same taking two weekends off.

So fingers and thumbs

Petrol budget work/normal life £120 but should get a fair chunk of that back
Petrol trip to get manchild from uni £155
Petrol end of month enroute to holiday (:)) £65

£330

Ferries etc - £305+ grub and gifts.


'spensive month travellng. But worth it, I guess.

Thanks kc :A
I've drank lots and eaten not so much, but feeling Perrier today. Well done cleaning the pots and good luck with the chillis!

Only 30 over budget isn't as bad as 230:D

Wedding well adding that up is expensive but were doing lots of it ourselves.....
