    Well todays spend was a lot lower than I expected. So a good end to the month. Nothing major planned for March so am looking forward to big savings.
    It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.

    Declaring Feb as under by £8.93. Took £100 off our budget as we were away, fully catered for a week. Having said that, it was £120 for kennels and £35 for our dog to be clipped, so didn't really save anything :o

    See you on the March thread.

    Spent £33 in the last week, 29 at tesco and a few pounds on milk and veg in m&s. So I have come under budget at 168/200. This is the first time I've come under by more than a pound! Really pleased and 32 pounds added to the emergency fund.:j
