Good morning!!

Recovering spendaholic - Hope you started to feel better soon after your post!

I haven't finished March yet, but needed to buy shampoo. I already washed my hair with shower gel twice last week and it didn't work very well!
I am cheekily including this £4 (for 2 bottles) in the April challenge. :cool:

Have a good day, people. See you officially in a couple of days!

Well NSD today although I have got to pop to the cash machine and draw some money out for later in the week. Tea is sorted as fish, potatoes & veg. Going to have a tidy up today as it's cold and grey outside and the in laws are popping over this afternoon.

Hi everyone,

Can you put me down for a budget of £220 for the month of April please?

I did a online shop yesterday as I had a voucher for a £15 off a £60 spend with Sainsbury's, I spent £49.35.

Off to make tea loaf and banana Nutella muffin. Also need to white sauce for lasagne for dinner. Am v short on sheets so will be an interesting lasagne! Lol! X

Morning all. I should officially be joining tomorrow, think I have already put my budget on, but I have absolutely nothing for school tomorrow. So I have done a huge [EMAIL="T@sco"]T@sco[/EMAIL] shop at about £200, it includes 8 bottles squash, 6 boxes cereal, 5 big bags of crisps, huge bags of pasta/spaghetti... Dreading fetching it. Most of it should last the month or more but as I've always brought weekly, I have no idea. Need to fetch potatoes and eggs from farm and a meat order and hopefully just a top up of fresh stuff through the month. Will update once I've collected it.
