    Yesterday I managed to get by with a purchase of YS fromage frais (63p) when I got the paper, so we had cheesecake for pud :)

    NS days today and tomorrow. Not groceries but I'm almost done with the presents so can start saving up for the heating oilpurchase, car insurance, car tax, all the fun stuff due in January :(

    Almost an NSD yesterday but decided to take advantage of the nectar points double up. Doubled up £15 and bought 4 bottles of wine and a small bottle of Prosecco for DH and me to have a glass each on Christmas Day came to £32.25 so my spends for 23/11 were £2.25 :T :beer:

    Last day on the November challenge for me. I am moving into december tommorow.
    I found £1.01 today just lying around on the pavement. Some people! I used it to buy a tin of kidney beans, a tin of chopped toms & a lovely fresh bread baton to go into/with our chilli tonight. Yum! And NSD technically :)

    I'm going to declare my amount today and anything I spend from now on will go on December's total, as I have enough in to last the rest of the week.
    I'm slightly over budget at 268.90 but not too worried

    Hi everyone :)

    Just back from a week at home, was great seeing everyone again :) went and got some bits and pieces yesterday, spending £13.89, so my total for this month is £39.53.I have more than enough to get me through the rest of the week so all being well I will stay under budget. I suppose I'm cheating a bit after having missed a week but I'm still delighted I managed to stay under £50! Hopefully I can do it again next month :D

    Sig updated.
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
