October was my first month of attempting the challenge and I lost concentration after a couple of weeks. I kept my receipts but not always in the same place, didn't mark them when I'd counted them, got muddled as to whether to include a bag of chips as grocery or leisure, etc, you get the picture.
My budget was £200 and I believe I stayed close, probably spent no more than £220.
I'll use this as my learning month.
Thanks for giving me the tools
