I'm still in November until the end of the week but was feeling lonely there so I've popped in here to say "hi" and set my budget for December (4 weeks starting from Saturday). I was going to add a bit to my usual 4 week budget as I haven't bought much Christmas stuff yet, but I did well in November, I have quite a lot in the freezer already, and I have some Sainsburys points and I think a Tesco voucher due (if I did my adding up right) so I'm going to stick to my usual 4 week budget to include all Christmas stuff. So please put me down for £450.00 and thank you for all your help.

Hi, please can you put me down for £400 - as obviously it's Christmas coming all too soon I may end up slightly over but won't get too stressed.

Went to Li*l yesterday with mum as we both had some bits to get, and used the £5 off £35 spend from Facebook-put both our shopping together though, previously I would have spent £35 just to save £5! We split the voucher, so mine came to £22.36 which was mostly fresh fruit/veg, some tinned pots (love them, and only 15p a tin in there at the moment!) and lunch stuff, tried to stock up on sandwich meats for a couple of weeks so as not to have to buy much this weekend! I was very proud that I didn't buy any main meal food, and am meal planning from the freezer!!will update sig now.

I've bought my food in for the week, which came to a grand total of £6.09. I need very little between now and Christmas - I only have 14 dinners left to worry about, and I have at least 8 of them sorted, so I only need to buy enough food for lunches and 6 dinners.

Spent £5.04 on a loaf of bread, jar of marmite and a jar of peanut butter.

I need to go to Asda tomorrow for nappies and chicken for the freezer. DP wants ham for lunches and I need to get the girls a pizza for their dinner on weds (DP and I are out)

Just £1 spent on milk. Mr F suggested popping to Mr A around whoops time - I said no!
Oh dear! Happened again - what I thought was bacon from the freezer was a small pork steak. So I did extra mushrooms to make up for lack of bacon.
For dinner we had fried off left over roast potatoes + mushrooms + tomatoes + baked beans + poached egg + Hm Linseed bread toasted and buttered.
