  • Thanks so much everyone for posting and keeping me motivated. Have come in under budget for the final month with £278.61 which will become jans’s target.

    Will join the Jan thread in the New Year. Have a lovely NYE all x
  • Happy new year everyone! I’m declaring December today. I thought I was done even yesterday but I ended up buying some stuff after we returned from vacation this afternoon.

    FINAL DECEMBER TOTAL:
    €403.36/€350.00
    16 / 12 NSD

    Over a bit but it was worth with all the good vacation time we had.

    £3.55 spent at work and £10.65 at Morrisons.
    So, £9.25 total.

    Yearly total of £2250.95 which means I came app £1000 under compared to last year.
    More than pleased with that. Aiming for a similar spend next year, although I may have to readjust in the middle of the year.
    GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July ££110.46/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month. One person vegan household with occasional visitors)

    Well, I've come in over budget for December. But never mind! It's always an expensive month. Onwards and upwards for the new year!
    Because it's fun to have money!
    £0/£70 August GC
    £68.35/£70 July GC
    January-June 2019 = £356.94/£420
  • We spent £2.54 yesterday. The last spend of the month and the year that was!

    So our last spend got us 3 persimmon, pack of pak choi and 2 4 packs of FF vegan iced mince pies.

    £184.93/£200.
    £15.07 leftover :beer:

    Very happy that we came in budget right at the end of the year. Well let's hope 2019 budgeting goes just as well.

    Thank you everyone who participated in this thread over 2018 months. Lets all have a good 2019 :money:
    I am a vegan woman. My OH is a lovely omni guy :D

    Declaring for December with £663.86, so managed to come under budget. But, frankly it was a huge budget! Looking forward to improving next year! X
