Wow, how does some of you only spend £200 a month of food shopping. My other half and I find it really hard keeping our weekly shop to less than £100 a week for 2 adults and 3 children age 1, 9 and 11 years old. So £200 a month is great.

Our food shop is so low cos we mainly go to Home bargains and Asda (home bargains have big named food for cheapy prices - amoy noodles that are £1.49 everywhere are 49p!) also its mainly me and OH eating so the food bill will go up when Leo starts eating with us

Before I was on stupid SMP my wage monthly was £800. Now it's £410 (we're due in December but been on it since end of Aug due to stress and bleeding; it was more then being on the sick!)
OH get's £210 a week

Monthly -
Rent - £375
council Tax - £102 (hate paying them passionately! Haha)
Gas & Leci - £60-80
Water - £21
Sky & Net - £70
2 iPhone Contracts - £120
Home Insurance - £19
Life Insurace (OH) - £26
Food shopping – (weekly usually - £20-30) if we've got the spare money we'd do a huge shop and spend about £90-100
TV License - £20
travelling - £51 for a monthly bus pass for me to get to the hospital. OH walks to work.

The nursery we've been looking at is £155 a week for 0-2 year olds and baby food, nappies and wipes are included (I work as a Nursery Practitioner and that is ace value for money just the £300 deposit is going to kill is when we need to pay it!). Thats before the benefits and child tax credits are taken away .

So at the moment monthly income is - £1250
and monthly outcome is - £1005 at the highest of our bills and not including childcare yet!

Money I hate it sometimes!
