    Hi everyone

    I'm after someone to help!!!

    I'm going to have to stop helping with this thread - time constraints and other things in real life mean that I'm unable to continue doing the budgets on the first page so . . . . . . does anyone out there want to take over from me, pretty please. Its easy to do and I'll message you how its done now but I'm sure it could be tweaked to suit whoever takes over and the rest of the posters :]]

    PM me if you are interested and I'll get back to you :]]


    Helen x

    I'll do it (unless someone else has already volunteered!).Will PM you.

    I'm in again for July with a budget of £250. Really pleased to have come in under budget for June.

    Today is the 1st day of my new month and I'm going shopping to pick up a few bits plus some store cupboard stuff to make use of a Mr S £6 off £30 spend coupon. I've done a list on Mysupermarket and it comes in at £30.08! Just hope they have everything I want otherwise I'll have to change things around so I don't spend under.

    Thanks for running this thread :) I'm still in June till Monday but saving a place and looking to spend £400 as it's a 5 week month. I think July is my last maternity pay after that my money will come in every 2 weeks so I will just try and run a monthly budget.

    Hi there, I'm brand spanking new to posting but have lurked for what seems like years! I would like to join please as I have recently moved house and there's just my wage coming in and I need to be uber frugal.

    I propose a budget of £100 for me and my 11 yr old daughter. This will include food, stuff like washing powder and toiletries. We have a panty and freezer full of stuff so I'll give it a good old go.

    My pay days are the last Thursday of the month so I'll start this Thursday.

    Kind regards

    Kate x
