Spent £10.49 in Morries and another £2.49 wasted in local newsagents. Should make it though, as month finishes Tuesday and I really don't need anything - hopefully don't have a mad moment. Happy Sunday everyone.0

considering we had a five days away self catering I have done well this month and just under target. Have been eating healthily and using a lot more chickpeas, lentils etc which were in the cupboard anyway and very little fresh meat. So my total spend is £170.29/ £175 target. the added bonus is that I have treated myself to some much needed new clothes for Summer! going to try even harder next month!must say NO to impulse buys!GC March Challenge £182/200
GC April Challenge £232/£175
GC May Challenge £170/£175
GC June Challenge £175

I spent another £5.96 yesterday in Lidl, seemed to get quite a lot. I have updated my sig. I have got tomorrow to get through, but I really don't need anything, so I'm going to declare at £96.63, which is just under, and move over to the June challenge. See you there people.
