    I've not really checked in much this month but oh my god we have managed!

    Last week spend of £37.63

    This week a spend of £26.99 in A'da and then £5.38 in A'di

    So 70.00 exactly. Added to the £42.45 from earlier in the month is 112.45 out of 350 :)

    Good job really cos tax credits got cut so our money went down x

    Morning all

    Can I declare at £480 for July? Still a big overspend, but extenuating circumstances, and we've done better than usual! Will pop over to August, and am more confident that we'll meet the target next month.

    Just slipped under the bar at £206.01/£210.00 so £3.99 under budget.
    Am happy about this all things considered.

    Fruit & veg accounted for highest % again

    Onwards to August now and lets see how that goes.
    MARCH £62.38/250
