How can I get a little note at the bottom of my postings please to keep a check on the situation?

If you go to the top of the page and click on user CP and then click on Edit Signature you can put it in there.

My MIL has gone home now so i can finally get back to normal and really keep an eye on spending etc. So far she cost me £22 this week but i can make that up later in the month hopefully. The fridge is a little bare now so i can get a menu plan done etc and organise a Tesco shop.

Hi everyone

I'm in again for September - running from 1st-30th.

Came in nearly £40 under budget in August, so will reduce my budget again from £160 to £140 for the month.

Cupboards are well stocked and so is freezer and got few Mr T vouchers to use so should hopefully be ok.:D However, starting new job on Monday after not working for a month so have got to get into a proper routine!!:eek:

Good luck everyone

Spent another £8.97 on cereal, flour, pasta, meat etc. Was pleased with myself though, because I came home and made 2 lasagne and 2 shepherd's pies for the freezer, plus one portion of spag bog and 1 shepherds pie for tea that night, all out of 2 packs of 500g mince. Did the red lentils padding trick and it was delish!

Realised last month that the worse times for overspending are when I'm tired and stressed and can't face cooking from scratch. Well, thats 4 quick meals now waiting in the freezer. Off to make some pizzas now.

I'm in again for September. Having gone under budget for the last two months I'm hoping my luck holds. Plan to spend £236 for the three of us and it will be a bit of a challenge.

Good luck one and all.

towards the top of the screen is a menu in a green bar....one of the options is "User CP". Select that and it takes you to another screen where you can set your preferences etc. One of the options there, in the menu at the side, is "edit Signature". Select that. Whatever you put as your signature appears at the bottom of every posting you make.

Cheers - oh, and welcome to the challenge!
