    Happy new year everyone.

    At long last I have come under budget. I think 200 is a good figure (for me) to aim for.

    last day today so i know i wont be spending anything:)

    i have come in under budget:)

    320.36 out of 400:D

    im really chuffed this month especially as it has been xmas food too.
    November NSD's - 7
  • Gosh this is late!! where did the time go???

    My December total is 255 out of 350 budget

    I knew this was going to be a learning curve and i took it steady too. I think i need to take a closer look at what im spending everywhere else as perhaps the groceries weren't the worst problem!

    Thanks for all the tips anyway, i know i still have a long way to go and i will be taking it gently so i dont fail
