I would like to join this month please. I didnt do March as was on holiday and wasnt moneysaving enough to know what was coming from which budget.

Anyway, I would usually budget £200 as quite a controlled budget, but going to really try and stick to £150 as we have had some very expensive vets bills which will be ongoing for a while. Need to cut the food bill to avoid going into the overdraft.

Due to a large vet's bill we need to tighten the belts a bit this month, so I can be down for £120 please?

Having spent the last three months using up store cupboard and freezer stocks I think we might struggle, but needs must sometimes!

Okay, Worked out a vague plan for the month.

Two meals out with work colleagues, so I'm upping my budget to £175 (allowing £25 per night out)this month but will be a little disappointed if I can't manage to pull it back over the next couple of months.

I've been away a long time, but need to get back to money saving properly, starting with the GC. Please can I go down for £300 for April for a start, hoping I won't need all that though! It's for 2 adults, 2 children and a cat, all found.

Thanks

So planned spends for April are going to be ( and I mean that)

150

Good luck everyone.

Went over in March and spent £432.28
I think due to the fact it was Easter and Mother's Day so we had a few extra family meals
