    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 :D

    £100 please

    This is for 2 adults.

    Just managed to come in under budget last month (by 46p :o)
    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.

    ****

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE :j:j:j:j

  • My Feb starts on Friday, could you put me down for £250 please,


    over budget in Jan so will be trying harder this month, must say still lots in cupboards and freezer, think I spend too much on "meal" things then end up going over budget when running out of essentials such as bread / milk / butter / Fruit and veg.
  • I haven't posted in a while so hello there again. I need to focus on spending less this year as DH is going part time in February. Please put me down for £200.
