  • Bit more spent today, but I did stock up the freezer a bit, so currently standing at £82.20/£190. 4 NSD's this week, so very pleased with that.:)
    DMP 2015 £57,549, now £36,112 (37% paid)
    EF £200 Mortgage OP's this year £115

    There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, Shining at the End of Every Day!

  • Declaring £155.86/£190for February. Really pleased with that as last month I went over a bit. There were 16 NSD's in this month as well. For March I am lowering my budget yet again and trying for £180...it CAN be done, I just need to be extra careful.
    Hope everyone else has done well this month. :)

    Hun, I think you meant to do this on the February challenge.

    Congratulations on the £35 underspend. Well done!

  • Spent £205, with a target of £120 - that's even worse than last month:o.

    I did stock up and I have a full freezer and store cupboard. But I'm trying to lose weight and I am eating less, so exceeding my budget really is pretty poor.
