Pleased to be finishing October under budget. I bought meat in bulk from the butcher and had a full loyalty card so got a roasting chicken. The mince was turned into chilli and portioned up, and everything is now safely in the freezer. See you in November x

Good afternoon All
I just realised that I hadn’t declared for October.! Don’t know where all the money went BUT there was nothing left in the GC Purse, so I’m declaring it all spent.We finished October at £140/£140.
