    Declaring at £287.81/£300. Happy with that.
    Roll on December!
  • Late to report this month, but I am a considerable £41.93 over for November mostly due to cake making ingredients for DGD birthday. Some decent colouring was £18; but it will last probably a few more birthdays and next Christmas, so it was worth it.
    Also, DD1 keeps forgetting to tally how much has been spent or to keep the receipts and I stocked up on a load of free from bits, hugely discounted in Morrison's.
