Hi everyone

oh dear fairly big 'failure' - final total £152.67 against a goal of £130 - again nothing much to shout about but in my defence I did stock in a load of stuff. And catered dessert for an unexpected Easter party which did probably cost around £15. Also Easter turned into a big eat-athon which did not help the diet any....

Here's to a better April...

But at least we are all trying which is half the battle,so NOT a failure at all.

Just done the final somes - Target was £800 (High but that was a reduction on average for 2007). Delighted to report £723.

I have set myself a really stiff target for April £595, but to be honest if I hit £6xx I will be delighted

logging on - I had to think long and hard which words I used!!

March Challenge - failed by £39.68, but at least the positive side is that I'm thinking about what I am buying and it's a fantastic reduction on this time last year.
I tip all my change out of my purse at the end of the week and put it towards the sealed pot challenge, so that's increasing nicely - saving for a no 'overspend' Christmas.
I'm off to update my signiture and find the April challenge

Hi all
We are new to writing posts on mse, however have been in to the mse site for ages.

Please can we join the April grocery challenge? Got a tight month ahead so will be looking at spending around £250 = £50.00 a week. Already spent £43.00 for this week so hopefully can stay on track.

Regards, Mr and Mrs T

There is a April 2008 Grocery Challenge thread started. I say started there are about 27 pages of it already. I dont know how to paste in a link. Not very tech minded, but if you type it into the search forums you should find it.
Good luck you will become hooked on sorting things out.
