Well done everyone - see you on the Nov thread x0 -

FINAL TOTALS:
€293.20/ €300.00

I’ve completely lost the plot in the latter half of October. I know DH went to Costco and spent circa £40, I know we spent £8 on veg at the farm shop last weekend and I know the GC purse finished the month with 80p in it, but where the rest went, I haven’t a clue.
Anyway, I’m declaring for October, having spent £157.30/£158.10..
See you in November.
