    NSD today.
    Declaring for December GC at £95.39 - high for me. We are planning a frugal January - so much stock in.
    We had chicken breast + sage & onion stuffing + Yorkshire Pudding + roast potatoes + roast parsnip + carrots + onions + gravy for dinner.

    Managed another NSD today. Don't think I need to spend any more this year but not going to jinx it by declaring early :rotfl:


    Think almost everyone had done really well with December's budgets taking Chrissy into account and I'm sure that being on here helps all of us to try a bit harder to stay focussed and on track :D


    Hope you all have a magical Monday

    Hi. It seems like its that time of year again, and I am ready and focused to join in again with the GC. I am going back to lists and need to try to restrain my food shopping. Very difficult with 4 growing children!! However, with 2 full freezers, I am going to challenge myself to £400 this month. Its going to be interesting to see what I can make with my freezer full of rhubarb and gooseberries!!!

    Can I join for January please? I'd like my initial monthly budget to be £600, I know this is high but I need to prove I can do that (we vaguely aim for £150/wk but usually go way over) before lowering it! :)
