    Evening All,

    Can you please put me down for £125 in March?

    I'll spend the next week stocktaking and using up odds and ends, ready to start fresh on payday (29th).

    Thank you kindly.
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

    I went to pot during February. I'm finding keeping on top of everything a bit much if I'm honest, but going to try again in March. £350 for me please x

    Please can I be put down for £150 for March? I am still on February until the 28th.

    We have been sent 4 x £10 vouchers from Sains for online orders so will use 2 of these for fortnightly shops and a final one on the Thursday before Easter as we are away on a self catering break for a week from Good Friday.

    I still have a lot of meat left from last week's big delivery and in the freezer.
