Afternoon all and a warm welcome to the new peoples, returners, regulars and lurkers :hello:

Thank you Zippy and Coxy for running the thread

I am going for a budget of £120 for March as we go on holibobs from 17th to 31st :j This covers food, cleaning, laundry and toiletries for DH and myself from 1st to 16th. Holiday funds cover us whilst we are away so different budget

Hope you all enjoy the challenge and good luck with keeping in your budget totals

Still in February until 28th so back laters

Thanks for starting the new thread.
Please put me down for £155 1st-31st. That's to cover groceries and pet food, alcohol and bulk buying are on a different budget. 2 people and one dog. I've still got plenty of stuff in the freezers mainly home grown so I'm trying to work through that before the new 'harvest' start.

I'm still on the February thread but see you all later.

Heh folks

Thanks a million to Zippy and Coxy for setting this all up. I've really enjoyed the February challenge and would love to carry on too please. I am going to attempt to drop my budget to £260 from 1st - 31st March for all food, drink and household items for 2 adults and 2 children. I'm still taking part in the using up freezer and store cupboard challenge which has been another massive help and I feel I have gained a little bit of self control - long way to go yet.

I'm also still in February so will see you all back here on the 1st March (or actually I won't because I will be in sunny Cyprus but my OH (and kids) will be fully stocked up and meal planned and under strict instructions to stay ON PLAN!)... I shall post for March upon my return!

Very best of luck for everybody to stick to their budgets and achieve whatever it is they're trying to achieve with the challenge x

I'd like to join in again this month but with a change to my budget. I'm not going to count my veg box and milk deliveries as they never change and get paid by direct debit but only spending that I have control over so £100 for me please.

March 1st put me down for my usual £60.00. (Can't seem to change the colour of the font on this MacAir laptop for some reason) I am hoping to have some left over cash from February's budget which will get swept into my holiday account for treats on holiday

Thanks zippychick
Upping the March budget as feel I trimmed it too far for February and I have two family birthday's coming up which will involve the "gathering of the clan" to cater for at least once. Please put me in for £150 that is for food, pet supplies, cleaning stuff and non-alcoholic drinks for 1 adult, 1 pooch, a visiting son a few nights a month and a family birthday. My month will run from 28th Feb to 31st March so the dreaded 5 week month :eek:
