Hi Squeaky, thanks for this info.
I've tried the link at the top of the screen a few times but for some reason it only seems to take me to the grocery challenges up to/including June 2007 - I can't find anything after that? Could you please tell me where I'm going wrong?
ta very much

I've just checked - it seems to be a bit behind at the moment.
I'll make sure that it gets sorted.
In fact my "standard" post here needs updating too.
What we have been doing for a while is not unsticking the current challenge but leaving it always available. We only unstick the old challenge these days - so you should only need the "challenges" link if you want to scan back through previous ones.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

Hi All,

If I was in school the report would say must to better

Rubbish - I'd done so well all month and this week blew my budget. My target was £200 and I spent £282.81 :eek:. However I have been home cooking far more so have stocked up for next month, so am hoping after my target of £200 for Feb that I'll be able to even things up a bit.

Hi All :hello:
I don't post on here very often, but do read most posts & want to thank you all for your advice & support - it has worked as I'm under budget!! :dance: Also helped by the fact that we're still finishing off the Xmas food... I've obviously hoarded stuff as there are still a lot of basics left in my freezer & cupboard, so hopefully Feb will be ok too!
I'm certainly cooking more, but yet to enjoy it!
Feb budget set for £173.93& as for some happy ending I'd rather stay single & thin
