Didn't finish the challenge in Sept and didn't take part last month either due to spending quite a while in hospital on both a normal ward and an ICU ward. OH was amazing and took care of everything, although I can see he spent rather a lot more than I would have done - still never mind.

Can I be added to the list again now with a budget of £250 for November please
Good luck to everyone and hello to any new people joining us.

Hello all!

£220 again for me for November please, hopefully will get the hang of making pack up for work this month instead of my cheeky MnS sarnies (mmm Brie and Grape) and salads (feta and beetroot)... Actually my mouth is watering thinking about it which is a bit worrying! Need to find a decent home made alternative

Good luck for Nov everyone x

Went to Mr T and Aldee today. Huge stock up on cleaning and laundry stuff in Alddeee, why does everything run out at the same time?

Spent too much on rubbish in Mr T as were all hungry by the time we got there this evening. Schoolgirl error:o

Total is £66.30/£400 which isn't actually as bad as I thought:rotfl: I do still need to get DH SW meals from the land of ice which will set me back £24:eek: If I get time I will make a big batch of veggie chilli to reduce the cost but I will be struggling as out most of tomorrow and away Monday to Thursday.

Hi all

I did my first big shop of the month today and, combined with a couple of small shops throughout the week, I've spent a giant £51!

That's a big chunk of my budget, but it did include some alcohol, and lots of storecupboard stuff. I also got lots of stuff to have a proper cooking day tomorrow. I'll make butternut squash soup, vegetable broth, chilli, shepherd's pie and an apple cake. All good winter grub!

I'm expecting lots of NSDs this week, and I'm going to aim for 12 this month. I need to get a grip, and I really want to be within budget this month.
