    Thank you for running the thread Elsiepac. I'm going for £450 again. I'm likely to blow it but what the hell. I'm a calendar month type so I'll keep posting on the June thread.

    Hi
    I'm in for this month please. Epic fail last month, but on it now!!!
    I'm going for £480 - i'd like to come in under that if i can but we'll see!!! Spent nearly £1000 last month - feel sick just writing that! Totally horrific and explains our huge debts! 'Light bulb moment' and total kick up the backside for reigning in the awful splurging!

    £100 for me, as normal. Will see if I can persuade myself to eat something out of the cupboard instead of hoarding.

    Hi again everyone :)

    Thanks elsiepac for setting up another thread :)

    I'm coming into July with £60.00p per week again, as this seemed to be the perfect budget last month.

    Technically not starting until Saturday, but I won't be spending until then anyway.

    Hi guys!

    My July budget has started already! Going to try and do £50 a week!

    I usually do my main shop on a Thursday so trying to meal plan and prep best I can :)
