Hi Mrs M, please put me down for £200 + €200.

The € are for our trip to Germany at the end of the month. They are coming out of a different account though..... I might not need it all to stock up on certain things, as we are going over again at Christmas.

We have been updating our budgets last night. How the h**k are some people managing? After everything going out etc, we might not bother planning any days out etc. Just no money left over. :eek: And I know, that a lot of people are worse off then us.
Anyhow, I am now on a mission to get even better deals this year.

Good luck everyone.

Morning, can you put me in for £250 this month? Going to really try a bit harder this time, even if it is a longer month!! Already had Mr T delivery last night £80.30 (but that does include the batteries, so I may actually alter that a bit as they are not edible really are they!!). Babies mum's are remembering to buy some of the milk them selves now, and the babies are also on start of solids, so I think I need to get that Puree baby food stuff started before the jars take over. (so far been freebie ones that they had from baby clubs like Hipp).
Good luck everyone.
I want to follow this thread more often, and maybe research a few bits on the old ones, I miss so much only coming on every few days!!

Count me in please going to try really hard for a £285 this month.

Might be hard though considering the shopping has come already and after a few bits i had already picked up end of the month i only have now £60 to last the rest of the month (omg)
