    I went awol during July as owing to health reasons shopping was delegated to family members and lost track of spends, but back on track now so declaring a budget of £150 for the calendar month of August, it's low for us but we're away for one week and cupboards have recently been stocked courtesy of AF so hopefully doable

    I am just squidging in to the July budget I set, but August I shall dare myself to go a bit lower at £170. I will be trying my utmost to beat it as I have to go to a sci-fi con thingy and that will be a bit :eek: on the wallet.
    I'll start 28th July and end 29th August.
    Back in debt again, but for a good cause. £17K to go
