I can never find the next months grocery challenge??
Where can I find September please? Thank you  

There are a number of ways you can find these this:

1. At the top of your screen (on my PC it is below the solid navy bar under the picture of Martin) is the address "Forum Home>> Old Style Money Saving" If you click there it is normally pinned to the top of the list of Old Style threads. 
2. Also elsiepac puts up a link in the post where she announces it (so if you page back a screen or two, you will find it)
3. Or you could go to page 1, click on elsiepac, then look at the threads she has started

Declaring at £114.60/£140.  £25.40 to carry forward to Sept.

Good morning All.

There’s a problem, though:  the pan for our bread machine has started leaking water but it can’t be replaced.  I’ve contacted the manufacturer and they no longer make replacements.  We may have to buy a new bread machine - such a waste, since it’s still working beautifully.  (Note to self:  buy a second pan and paddle, when you buy the replacement.)

Have you browsed your local Facebook market place, loads of bread machines, bought and never mastered, bought one early August for a friend £5, you may find a replacement pan.

Excellent idea!  Thank you @pamsdish .  I'll do that.

DH is convinced that he has a compound somewhere which, when mixed, will form a suitable, heat stable seal.  I'll let him have a go - we've nothing to lose. (He's an engineer by trade but drifted into IT 10 years ago.  My only hope is that he's not remembering something that was in his office drawer at his last engineering job...)

A combination of circumstances have derailed my budget of  £150
I had a Morries delivery mid month ,£115 ,but that was a store cupboard replenishment and  happens about every 7 weeks .I forgot to factor it in.
I am declaring  £165 for August.

Well! Went for milk, ended up buying beer and yellow sticker food! In my defence have had son and his partner staying and sister and her husband, so four extra adults. Declaring for month at £231.61/£200! Freezers are at last looking a little less full. Onward and, hopefully, downwards, mumtoomany.

Hi All.  I ended August with a spend of £205.12 out of a budget of £200 so pleased with that.  Right off over to the September thread now 😁
