    Well done there mizmir !

    If you have a grocery budget,you could only count food spends when/if you go over it?
    I have a weekly grocery budget and it's what I do.
    Just an idea.It's up to you of course. :)

    Do have a grocery budget so that makes sense. I don't count DDs and things that just go out and are budgeted. Will have a think. If I do that I will have to up my target to 20 or so since I have a budget now for everything! ;)

    Maybe I'll stick to including all direct spending - makes it more of a challenge. Thank you! :T

    hi.no that's fine.whatever you're happy with is fine.sometimes it's easier starting off with a lower target.you can always increase it. :)

    Aiming for NSD today but I'm doubtful-while I'm out my daughter has got me on the lookout for some clothes for grandson... She's quite specific so it's unlikely but that's the one possible hurdle for today..just missed yesterday with a £2 spend at pub quiz but that's my tea so not terrible... Must try harder today!
