Angelnikki please put us down for 152.64'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle'0 -
Hi Angelnikki,
Can I please declare £301.23 for June (as won't be spending anything else until July!) – just above my target of £300 but I’m pleased with this as I have also included in this all toiletries, cleaning products and alcohol and would have been under target but wanted to use £7 moc I had for Mr T before they expired. Have entered everything spent in a spreadsheet and trying to put all the great hints and tips from here into practise so hopefully can only get better. Thanks for putting me down for £300 again for July Angelnikki, looking forward to the challenge.
Thanks to everyone who posted all the great hints, tips and recipes:T
Couldn't have done it without you

Hi
Well declaring a total and making a pledge....... Total £75.46 my only excuse is I totally lost the plot this month and spent for the sake of spending. So next month please put me down for
£70 this includes £10 marks and sparks voucher and £4 from tescos so hope fully I will manage.
Oh and the pledge to follow the thread properly unlike june when I got lost by page 10!!

Morning all
I'm declaring for June - budget of £315, spend of £364.40.
I am over, but not by anywhere near as much in previous months, and for once I can account for most of the overspend - needed new laundry baskets, a new colander and some food tubs (£8), I took advantage of the Co-op members day discount to get middle son's lunchbag etc for school in September (£10) and hubby went into hospital at the start of last week, so he's had some extra spent there in day-to-day cash and things to nibble on (about £20, but that'll see him through next week too), oh, and we cheated and went to the chippy once this week, so there's £10 there too.
So, I reckon all in all, it's not been a bad month. I'm setting around the same budget for next month, and after that I'll start trimming it down each time again, see where I can comfortably get it to.DFW Nerd no. 884 - Proud to [strike]be dealing with[/strike] have dealt with my debts0 -

Declaring 211.18 for June. 11.18 over but OH's birthday celebrations were in that spend. Usually we would go out for a meal which would put 80.00 odd on the credit card but this year he went out at lunchtime (so work paid) and opted for a family meal at home. Of course this meant buying extra treats but so much cheaper than going out.WL 11 st 5lb as at 050109. 160209 11st 2lb

Off to a really good start too. Yesterday I started baking for the freezer and made : 18 chocolate fairy cakes, 18 vanilla butterfly buns, a banana and sultana loaf, and 2 medium tubs of strawberry icecream. Nothing planned for today so hoping to get 2 quiches, tortillas and bread rolls done . just having trouble getting started.!

Well I am over by 95p. It's my own fault because I gave in to temptation and bought some nail stuff in Boots that cost £3-89 - if I left it till next week I would have been under by £2-94. Still, I don't feel too bad as I am going to last till Thursday or Friday before I need to buy anything else. So Angelnikki I am declaring at £325.95. Please put me down for £300 for JULY.
See you in the new thread.
