Wrapping up September today with £44.32 out of £70 spent. Very pleased with myself!
The leftover £25 in notes is going towards next month's £70, and the tiny bit of change has gone in various pots.Because it's fun to have money!

I had one last shop for the month and am declaring at £539.82.
Over budget but not too bad considering housewarming party and some baby clothes. Also I have a lot of stuff in the freezer and lots of store cupboard items. On the plus side, hubby hasn't done many secret shops this month.
