    Hi Just wanted to say I came out of September at £290 we were 3 people for a bit, but mostly me and ds. But that is £10 under budget. For October I will set the budget at 290 but we are now entering the birthday and Brexit season, and I might buy a few extra bits before prices start to go up in November so I will see how it goes.
    Tome to move over to October.
    Isa help to buy: 1000/3000 33%
    Emergency fund: 100/1000 10%
    Weight loose 8.6 kg - while having fun. 0/8.6 0%
    Focus debt to clear HSBC £10/1111, 0% updated May 25
  • Sorry I've had no time to post, but i have been keeping track and I'm currently at £308.91.

    With a few days to go, we shouldn't need much; as I recently went Aldi for my bulk up on soya milk, and a few other bits.

    Work means I am not getting to meal plan how I would like too, which is very annoying. Days off seem to be booked up for something before they've even got here; which means I've just no time to spare. It is what it is. So I am just muddling along at the moment.

    Bust the budget for September by £20.91. Doing better in October so far.
