    It's a wrap. I am over budget by loads just spent for the sake of spending and eating out because I could not be bothered to be organised. Declaring £386 / £300
    Can only vow to do better in November - see you all over there in a bit.
    GC Jan '17 £237.54/£350
    GC Dec £193.02/£400

  • 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 :)
