    Hi everyone!

    I have been reading this thread and although I am not sure whether I can do it I am more than willing to try!

    I did an inventory on my cupboards and freezer yesterday and I already do the envelope system (I have 3 wallets for petrol, food and misc spending) so part way there. Just the rest to get through!

    Well I've sorted out my budgets/SFDs etc, I have only 1 outing planned for november and that will be free. I have put my totals in my signature to keep myself going! I havent budgeted for presents because I usually do my xmas shopping first week of december so that will be taken care of out of next months wage.

    Good Luck everyone - think we are going to need it especially those of us who have chosen this as our first month!
