    Please can I aim for £400? I just have to remember that it's not so easy to cut back when we have DS2 living here; he & OH are inveterate carnivores, and both fit, healthy and very active. That's (most) food, basic toiletries & cleaning stuff for 5 adults, 2 cats, 11 chickens & 2 cockatiels. Some food & fodder is bought in bulk, which I'm keeping track of over the year.
