    Main shop done, £48.59 so total of £194.19 spent, includes wine, which I haven't bought since Christmas. Hopefully no more food shopping this month, it's getting close!:o

    I forgot to buy eggs and yoghurt so popped into Lidl today, definitely can't go shopping tomorrow or Monday now. Additional spend £3.26 so total £197.45/£200. Ok, I am determined not to spend any more money this month.

    Morning all

    Slight overspend on the month.
    I've just updated my sig
    Mil put a load of stuff on her list I can only get from tesc0 so I ended up buying extra myself while I was there. Cupboards and freezer are now full so hoping to even up next month

    Over budget by £10 but £50 less than last month so pleased overall.

    Aiming for a further reduction next month helped by being on hols for a week although we are s/c and will shop before I go.

    See you all over in March :D
    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
    Make £2021 extra income - £99.75
