  • I've bust the annual budget already but that's ok.  I'm carrying on to see how far over I go but still OS-ing towards the New Year.  I hope everyone stays well during the new lockdown.

  • Happy World Vegan day everyone.
    I managed to come under budget this month, and hopefully I will be able to drop my budget in the New Year; as after eighteen months of my eldest daughter and granddaughter living with me and my youngest daughter, they have now found their own place. So, we can aim to get it at the figure it used to be when there were just two of us.
    My month finished on the 25th, so i am a bit late hopping over to the November thread.
