Can I be in please with a target of £3000
-
Hi,
I think we're getting there with the groceries thankfully. On track for June so I'd like to try £300 for July (1st-31st).
Good luck everyone!0 -
Hello! Please could I join the challenge? It is my first month, and I am looking to keep to my 'official' budget of £280 starting on the 1st. I know I always go over my budget, so this month I want to come in on budget, then start work on reducing it.
This is for food, nappies, washing powder etc for me, husband and toddler.0 -
Can I get my annual budget increased to £1800 please?
That works out at £150 a month for 2 adults and 2 children (both in nappies and one on formula)
February GC £26.68/£2500 -
Big shop done today. £1150
-
2nd grocery spend of the month, so 2 weekly shops done! :T
3 more Saturday shops to go this month, so gotta stay on track. :cool:
Good luck to everyone as you gradually move into July.0 -
First spend of this month - £21.27 is A$da...
A few bits and bobs and a new mop, as the last one was no good.
Tried to fined Astonish there - but nothing there. Will try again later on.
Have a good day all.

I would like to join again for this month. I was trying to stick in budget last month despite my absence from the board but dont seem to have control of it at all. Im taking it a step further by actually costing the meals properly rather than just trying to eat cheap. Also, going to have a good look through the recipies as we're eating the same thing all the time and its not really working.
£200 this month0 -
Hi everyone. I'm going to try for £140 again please.
PP xOriginal mortgage £112,000 . Final payment due August 2027.
Mortgage neutral achieved August 2020 - 7 years early!!!0 -
£250 for July please.
Messed up June a bit, but I did get a bit carried away with DD's (20) birthday booze :whistle:
No birthdays in July, but we are away for a week, leaving DS to fend for himself, it,ll be the first time we,ve left him, but big sis will be popping in most days, much to his displeasure. I have been storing some HM ready meals in the freezer for him, he,s off to Uni in September, so it,ll be a (soft) practice run LOL
Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!
£300/£1300
