I am declaring at 130.71 this month, so managed to pull some back and have updated my signature for the first seven months of this year.
I am going AWOL for the next two months as I am retiring, moving house and DS3 is going to uni in September. I am having a couple of weekends away and he is going to stay in our new flat for a few weeks while I tidy some loose ends here.
Good luck everyone and see you in October

I am ending my GC a day early as I popped into B&M for a washing up bowl and saw that several of the items I was going to buy in Aldi on Friday were cheaper so I bought them today.

Really late to this thread. Managed to come under again by £50 odd, despite doing a last minute shop in Aldi on the last day of the month. However, this could have been even less, as I was buying bits for granddaughter and also some new vegan bits that I hadn't managed to get in Aldi before. Hopefully, can reduce this further.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 £76.30/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.
