I am in properly this month. I am going to aim for £60 per week to include food, cleaning, washing stuff. This is for 2 adults and 2 kiddies (5 and 4). 4 week month for me so £240 (with extra £60 put back as have Mum coming to stay for 10 days plus DD2 family birthday party to budget for too) so £300.

Hi Victory,
I'm the same as you, but nothing ever shows in my bank until the next day - try ringing them, probably there just not showing - pain in the b*t when you want to know what you've got eh! You'd think with all the technology we have now they'd be able to update a bank account! soon put the charges on quick enough for us to see.:mad: (OK, bank rant over!:D )

Have you phoned the bank? Mine is the last day of the month too, but today is the last working day so mine has gone in today.

Savingfortravel Glad to hear that you've decided to hold on to your dream even though it may take a little longer.

Sometime I've found that my pay has not gone in until after midday.

Morning all

Have been out in the garden potting on my sprouting broccoli and eyeing up any potential gaps for more tubs :shhh: ....im sure i have spotted a couple of possibilities

I have decided to hold off on the shopping until hubby gets back from work..it is soooo hot and muggy out there its really difficult to get a decent lung full of air..so im not about to agrevate my head by lugging shopping..its a shame though as i enjoy walking..Still it gives me time to "tweak" my lists..

Well this morning i have hit a mile stone... sort of linked to this challenge as i have now lost 1/3 of my body weight..and 1/2lb -thats very important that little 1/2lb ..... 7st 1/2lb since August :j down to the old style weight loss thread and this challenge... well i won't waste my budget on "extras" :rotfl:and not a low fat/diet product /ready meal in sight :T so tonight i will be having a mini splurge on lots of extra fruit..as i do eat rather a lot of it
right off to tweak that shopping list have a good day everyone and keep up the great work

wow didnt get on yesterday and its taken ages to catch up.
first thanx for the recipies mrs m and it doesn t take much to confuse me:rotfl: (do you think you could do the bread sticks with sesame seeds instead have loads in the cupboard)
sft just think you ll be that little bit older and therefore appreciate it more when you DO make it ,just keep focused.:D
after reading all the whoopsies people get i think i ll have to start shopping late on instead of in the mornings,good luck every-one ttfn.

wow congratulations on the weight loss that is a massive achievement you must be spending what you save on clothes that fit lol
