    Hiya everyone


    I am on holiday for two weeks this month so am going for


    just £110 in March


    for the remaining 17 days - bit tight but I'll have a go :D


    Good luck with the challenge and hope you all do well.


    I noticed some people have problems with keeping check. I do it on my signature, but also keep all receipts on a large bull-dog clip and check at the end of the month ;)


    I'm still in February until the end of the month but will pop over now and then


    Hope you all have a super Sunday

  • Can I please join in for £200 from now till the end of March when I get paid?


    This will be our first time in doing a challenge like this on MSE.
  • I haven't posted in here for a long time, but need to start putting money away to get work done on our house and have got a bit slack at spending too much on food😳. So back to try and budget, and I'll begin my March budget on Saterday. Put me down for £250 please as my DD is home for 10days so I think that sounds achievable with an extra mouth to feed.

    I'll try and get in the mode this week, check out my cupboards, do some batch cooking, and cook more vegetarian meals. And also buy in any bargains to fill up my freezer to help keep me going ( been bad at that too).

  • I'm in again this month. Another £300 total. I really hope to come in at around £250 as we need to clear out the freezer ready for a defrost. Then I can get some meals batch prepped for when I go back to work post mat leave.
    How long til pay day? :eek:

    Please can i join this challenge looking at £350 for the month of March as a starting figure.

    There are 3 of us in the house so hoping to be under that at the end of the month. I have followed you all for a while now and feel ready and hopefully organised to keep a track of our spending.

    Thanks x
