Hi, thank you.

We are away for part of Easter and have some meals out planned for birthdays and wedding anniversary so will prob be an expensive entertainment month but cheaper grocery month.

Going to try for £250 this month.

I didn't do March and although I have some space in the freezer now I can't hand on heart say that I made the best use of what we have/had. April is a 5 week month so £400 for me please.

Thank you elsiepac for doing this thread.

I'm ashamed to say it's been nearly a year since I've been on these threads for budget. I have been budgeting in real life but a lot has been going on and I mostly went to reading and not really posting.
We have been asked to move out by our LL. We are looking for a place but haven't found anywhere accessible (due to my disability) in our budget. We are on the council list but so far no luck there either.
We are needing to save money to move. 
We have loads in the freezer and cupboards that we need to get through before we move so the budget is mostly to do fresh top ups.

Our April doesn't start until the first but it is the following please.

Our April budget is going to be £180.

The month goes 1st to the 30th.

This is for two adults, my OH and I. Includes all food and drink (except alcohol, that has a different budget), cleaning products, toiletries etc. 

£0/£180.

£180 left.

@Doom_and_Gloom - will be thinking about you and sending virtual hugs that you find a place just for you and OH soon. Best wishes on your search. I'd loan you my lucky leprechaun but he has been in hiding from me for a few years.

I am getting ready for the April challenge. Thank you so much @ @elsiepac for running it for us. There will be 12 of us to feed over easter so I am going to push the boat out and enjoy it. 😊

Please put me down for £300 this month.

Just dropped other half off at work - doing a curry tonight with chicken from freezer - he wanted me to “pop” to shops for a naan and some sides .., I said no as i’m not shopping until tomorrow and said do we need naan and sides?
feeling smug and happy getting day 1 off without a needless basket shop that would end with additional bits included

Good luck @Doom_and_Gloom - hope you find the perfect new home.
