    still here and still pregnant :( must have walked at least two miles today and whilst she feels lower I don't feel like I should hold out for labour any time soon which is leading me to feel a bit pants! Not like me at all as I'm generally very emotionally stable if not veering a little the other way to seem a bit numb so I'm not enjoying it!
    Aw - it's just your hormones starting to kick in and wanting to get it over and done with. Sure won't be long :D


    Went to M&S today for 2 decent pots to do jackets and treated my self to a cheese scone :naughty: I'd just been told I'd got a little more work :j
    Also stopped at Li*l on way home and they had in their avocados and blueberries on offer. So total today of £4.10.


    Had chilli I made yesterday with jacket pots and grated cheese.


    Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

    Hi guys, called into As*a on my way home yesterday for bread and Milk and a few other bits came to £26,17.


    I must get in to the habit of only taking out a little bit of money to cover the cost of the items I need...... and I would not be able to spend more...


    gone over my budget this month, but as its my first I will look where I can change over the next month..


    Thanks for all your support and brilliant idea for this challenge.......

    £26.17 spent on weekly shop today, leaving £42.35 left from the £180 pot. I'll need to buy cat food and milk before month end but looks like I'll be running a surplus again - woo hoo!

    Hi everyone,

    DH's new job now pays us on 25th of the month, so to keep things simple I'm starting our April GC today. Will see you all over on the new thread :D
