Over spent this month, but not hugely. Considering the cr*p that life has thrown, a little overspend is not the end of the world. DH has agreed to cover the bills this month, and I should have an income next month.

Hi all people. Hope June went well for you all. I am getting more scarce in this thread as the months go on, but I am still here lurking.
I managed to come under by quite alot this month. So much so that I thought I had made a mistake and had to do the sums twice.
Off to update my sig for June and July so far.GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £44.54/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

Hi everyone,
Been a frantic July so far with family illness (elderly parents) and Uni visits. We are the sandwich generation! but doing OK so far at £187.58.
I've added household items (cleaning, tinfoil, light bulbs etc.) so increased the budget a bit because in earlier months they didn't add up to much. So of course this week I spent about £10 on LED GU10 bulbs which were half price!
Meal plan this week (have lost my mojo for meal planning so it's a repeat of many other weeks
):
Sat: pizza (DD), Spanish chicken bake (Hairy Bikers)
Sun: sausages / wedges / beans
Mon: chicken casserole and dumplings
Tues: spag bol
Wed & Thurs: haven't got that far yet...GC Feb 2019 (to 10th) £397.07/£3000 -

I confess what with holidays and an almost constant stream of guests, I got completely waylaid with keeping my receipts this month so have to declare that I would most certainly have been over budget. On to July and hopefully a more sensible month! See you over there everyone0
