I'm in again! 😊 still on annual budget so aiming for £300 again this month - came in under last month (not sure by how much as we're not using cash and dh is buying with his debit card! 🙈) but am using all spare money for the garden 😉

Thanks elsiepac for the July thread.
Can I up my monthly total please , to £400. This is to cover some subscribe and save purchases and possibly an order of g.f. bread nearer the end of the month (although I still have a whole box of pittas (10) and 4/6 loaves, so hopefully will be fine). £350 is not cutting it for the four of us, especially during these past months. Seems that there's always something or other running out.
My month runs from 26th June/26th July which is my Payday, so currently still in June for another week or so yet.
Good luck all

Hello, I’ve crawled out of the rock I crawled under a long time ago and I’d like to make our shopping £200 please, 25th June to 24th July. I have no idea if we can keep to this as I haven’t been tracking lately but I need to give myself a slap and starting owning up to my spending.Nessy x7

Dh did a shop yesterday so £47 spent - it was more than that due to alcohol but that comes from our persie budgets 😉7

Hi could you add me for £500 please, payday is 26th June. We've got 5 weeks worth of shopping until the pay day in July - so hopefully £100 each week for a family of 5 should be plenty (fingers crossed).Mortgage Balance June 2020 £102,824.39 Now £90,500.007
