I spent £182/£200 . There was quite a bit of leftover Christmas food to use up so will stick to £200 for next month and see how we go.0

Slightly over by £9.35 (£259.35 instead of the budgeted £250).
However, did some bulk cooking and can see areas to cut back on so not too bad.
This was also about £70 less per month than we have been spending, so overall quite pleased!
Onward and upward for next month!!

Well by my reckoning, adding up all the receipts for January, we've spent £377.14 of our £400 budget. So far so good, but now I need to reduce that further.Books - the original virtual reality.

Spent £47 /£100 for the month on shopping, aided by free food from work and leftovers.
Sadly spent £57 on eating out, though £7 less then last month so a mini win.
My other budgetting categories didn't do so well so proud of this!0 -
Declaring Janaury at £155.44 out of £200 :T
On top of that we spent about £45 on cat food :eek:0
