Ok finally declaring at £491 Overbudget by £191:eek:

This did include an extra meal out on our SC holiday due to the caravan not having a tin opener which we didn't realise until we had already started cooking and our only other meal was still frozen :mad: However we saved what we had already cooked and had it the next day so ended up bringing one meal home again

I live in hope for next month which I see has already been started:rotfl: Good luck everyone

Hi all

You have all done so well this last month, I have gone over budget for this month............. we went away for a week and ate out 3 times, thus making the food bill £275 ( roughly calculated from euros to pounds including food used in caravan!).:mad: Still had a good holiday, mr t thought I was funny, even I had my little mse head on holiday. I suppose not bad considering the budget was £250.

Well done y'all!

well, I have to confess to missing my £595 budget, coming in at £707 :eek: :eek:

but I claim some solace from the fact that £25 of that was next months cat food which I bulk bought (BOGOF) at Mr T (new Felix Roasted range, mmmmmmmmm), and we had half term week with the hungry hordes at home

Anyway will try better, but not quite sure how with everything going up. but will keep trying - still much better than I was :A

Missed mine too: budgeted £50.00, spent £64.68.

My "pocket money" budget absorbs the surplus, so I'm not ACTUALLY out of pocket - in fact I underspent so much on pocket money that I'm still £30 up on what I allowed for the month, even with the grocery overspend

See you on the June thread...

April £238.00, May (horrendous as we got the BBQ working again) £268

many thanks
