    Yep, they're delightful things and I'd never be without a dog, but my gosh they can be expensive at times!

    Bang into February grocery challenge with a £115.12 shop at tesco! :eek:

    However, this included food for a family lunch (20 people!), dinner for 7 people Sat evening plus cooked breakfast Sunday morning. Also £15 on alcohol.

    Also spent £5.50 at health food shop. It doesn't bode well for Feb:o

    Evening all :)

    A great weekend away .. if I was to take it from our grocery budget, we'd have none left. fortuitously it'll come from our social budget :):)

    So, back to business... £3.40 spent (bread and eggs) ... signature updated.

    On the downside .... no food in, no plan, no time .... this is going to prove an interesting couple of days to get back into rythm !

    Ok well after my massive overspend last month I am going to revise my budget upwards to £250. Hopefully I will stick to it this time. Good luck to everyone.

    I've spent £14.69 out of Feb's budget. :)

    I've put the lovely savings from Jan's budget into our house saving account. They've partly made up for December's massive overspend, so we're almost back to where we should be. :T
