Please can you put me down for £350 for February please
That's a reduction of £50, but as it's a short month it will be fine. I'll be starting on 1st February.
Thank you

Just managed to come in under budget last month (by 46p)
which was amazing considering having to buy all lunches as well. (However, all other budgets - petrol/parking/etc all gone to the wind!)
Lots of freezer and cupboard stock used thjough, so will have to keep a very tight eye on feb budget.

Will be planning my shop for next week fingers crossed, as no time this weekend to go to the SM.
