    Not shopping today so am declaring for November at £151.55/£250.

    That means I've got nearly £100 to go into my spending money for next months holiday!

    I'm away for over half of next month so won't be taking part in Decembers challenge.

    Good luck everyone for December.

    A bit early I know but Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

    Spent £4.46 today so am declaring at £139.57 This leaves £110 to add to savings. :j:j:j
    I know its a great underspend but just wish it was as a result of thrifty shopping and not because I hardly have any appetite and just cant face a 'normal' sized portion but I am drinking loads of milk and eating when I can.
    MARCH £62.38/250
