I'm in December, but

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone coming under budget

Not to worry, anyone that isn't - at least you ahve a better understanding of how you are spending the money/where it is going wrong, and start December eager and raring to go

ETA: Soworried - I would bank the full £50. Supper tonight sounds like a cheese omelette - or cheesy scrambled egg. One more NSD to see you to Decmber :T

Your right BlueMoo
This is the post I just put on the use up your freezer thread-

All my last little bits are coming out today as I am to the point I can now defrost my freezer :j:j:j

Most of it is fish so I am making a huge fish pie, I have smoked fish, plain line caught cod, Basa fillets and some tiger prawns. The topping will be defrosted three veg mash that I made last week with ys carrots, potatoes and swede. I'll make a home made sauce and top it with cheese

There is also some sausages which will make a fry up with some bits from the fridge or a curry.

The refill will start again tomorrow :cool:

Flo, the pepper steaks look lovely. I love those

I think I'm just panicking that I have such low food stocks in the house They have never been this low before. At least I will be able to store my Christmas food shop now

Thanks Tessie this reminded me to go and get the paper, well 2 as one for DD, I was really pleased to see the coupon for Foxs fabulously special biscuits for 2.79 as wanted to get a couple to donate to the food bank so this saves me an extra couple of pounds.

Also like the halfprice cooking chocolate and icing sugar, and salt and pepper grinders.

Cheapskate

I'm bowing out of November's GC early, cos I've made such a b@lls up of it, again!! I'm going to find a spare purse or something, put money in this week, and try again from Sunday.

Am declaring an overspend, should have been £450, but as of today I'm over £500, so another epic fail! :rotfl:

A xo

Billie-jo

A spend of £10.54 today that wasn't planned for.
Tomorrow am going to A1di after taking mum for blood test.

Saturday I am going to do a list of what we need for Christmas and can then start to cross items off, nearly done the present shopping just a few gift vouchers and stocking fillers to buy.

Well done on all those who have under spent their budgets this month.

Soworried

I am declaring my November over, a huge £50 underspend :j

I am going to bank this and not add it to my December budget as I am happy with my increased budget

Good luck everyone and I'll keep reading, see you in December :A
