  • Thank you elsiepac for doing this thread. As I've said before it really does help keep us accountable.

    Our October budget is £180.
    The month goes 1st to the 30th. We aren't going to be home on the last day of the month so not including the 31st in this.
    This is for two adults, my OH and I, and a chinchilla. Includes all food and drink (except alcohol), cleaning products, toiletries etc and all chinchilla items (food, hay, sand, treats etc).

    £0/£180.
    £180 left.
    I am a vegan woman. My OH is a lovely omni guy :D
