    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!
  • 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.

    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/£250

    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.

    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 month

    £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/£130
