    Ended up going to Lidl today so decided to get my shopping in for next week which took me up to £237.29 :(

    Could have fudged it and put it in November's budget but decided to stick to my system of counting the money in the month it's spent, not when it's used. Will dust myself off and head over to the November thread to try again! :) x

    I ended up spending £251.25 so £1.25 over budget. Knew I shouldn't have bought the chocolates to take to the Halloween dinner tonight! Oh well it's not too bad. See you all next month :)
