    Hello everyone

    Well I have £9.81 left in purse so I have so far spent £30.19 out of my £40 and I have so far managed 14/16 nsd, and have 12 days left so as I haven't got any spendy days left to do I should manage it.

    I think when my four weeks are up I will start to do it weekly as I get paid every four weeks so pay day changes each month and to make it easier on here I think weekly will be best.

    Spent £27.58 at AF today - stocked up on loads of Salon Selectives toiletries, as they are lovely; so should last the rest of the year easy.

    Yesterday spent £1.20 on M*rrisons for drinks (thinking we were going to the local carnival, but we changed our minds; so we didn't really need them after all.

    Spent £0.86p in the C*-*p on YS bread.

    I am declaring at £3.12 over; which i am chuffed with considering i have just done this big AF order.

    Off to July now. See you all there folks.
    GC 2025 so far £1461.52/£1710 Dec 13th - Jan 12 = £55.52/180 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.Two person vegan household, with occasional visitors)
