Is there any chance at all that you could do a boot sale tomorrow to raise any cash? Just a thought - even if it is a tenner you come away with, it'll buy food and buy you some breathing space.Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

How about you think of your food and petrol budget in weekly terms - £50 per week for food and £10 per week for petrol. Take it out on a particular day and make it last for 7 days.0

Perhaps trying to have weekly budgets for spends and food, petrol etc might work rather than monthly budgets?
Get a big bag of pasta from the supermarket - £1 for 3kg, tinned smart price chopped tomatoes and some herbs and you can all eat, it can be pureed for K and is dead cheap and filling. In may, we had £100 for all our food for 3 adults, 2 children and a cat - it was hard, and the kids are sick of pasta, but it is doable.
