    I have updated my total for February, and I have sadly gone over budget, spending £261.08 / £250 :o

    Still, the challenge has certainly made me think about what I am spending, and I will go and sign up for the March one now :)
  • Declaring £113.95/£114 for February. Five pence to spare!


    Looking forward to getting stuck into March now. :)

    Yes I was really annoyed that Scotland didn't get their voucher. Any idea why it was postponed or when the voucher will appear for us?
    No, I'm sorry but that's all I know. Was told we will get it for March though.


    Managed another NSD to end the month today = 20 :j


    I am declaring at £163.88/200 for February so that's £36.12 to go into the Bulk buy budget :T


    I will probably use some of that when I come back from my hols to go to the butcher's as we are running a bit low on meat now. Should be okay until we go away though.


    Well done everyone for doing the challenge and 'see' you all in March

    I'm declaring at just under my target, at £97.33. It would have been less, but I decided to "use" up my February buffer, so as to hopefully save some of my March spending (or am I just cheating myself?!)
    Thanks all for posting, I've found checking the thread during the month has kept me on track.
