Lost my receipts!!! :mad::mad::mad:
Anyway, I think i've spent around another £150 on shopping including all the stuff for a coffee morning and some treats for my sons birthday.
Really need to be more careful. This is how I over spend by losing my receipts.

I assume you pay cash for your shopping? I know that's recommended by lots of people but I always pay on my credit card as I also lose receipts (or DH just throws them away). It doesn't show you what you spent the money on but you can keep track of your totals.
I do like that my annual CC statement gives me a rundown of what I've spent on what but transport spends make me cry!0 -

Hi all
I am up to £255 this month, my budget is £280 but I was hoping for less so thats good. It does feel like its been a bit too easy this month though and I am wondering if I had a lot of supplies carried forward from August. I really need October to work out as £250 as its going to be a spendy month!
4 days after today till the end of the month. If I am careful I shouldnt need to spend more than £10 to see me through.0 -
£14 spends yesterday on basics. £39 left until the end of the month.0

A £12 overspend this month, not too bad but I'm a little bit gutted. Bring on October :j***Dont save what is left after spending, spend what is left after saving***0
