How we did compared to budget in December:
Financial Goals:
1. Stay within grocery budget (£200). Fail (ish) although I nearly made it. At least £48 of the grocery spending was on coffee (for our stockpile), so I only went over budget by about £14. At this time of the year I’m happy with that 
2. Increase income by at least £100. Yes. We gained an extra £218.17 in December
- £45.00 Gifts (anniversary)
- £19.45 Lottery winnings
- £78.72 Blog income
- £56.62 Sealed pot
- £18.48 Cash back
We also very gratefully received a bonus from hubby’s company. It was a total surprise and will enable us to finish all of the work on our house in 2013. We’re saving a percentage of it as they’re as likely to let him go as reward him next year!
Personal Spending:
- £20.39 Postage
- £35.01 Gifts
- £3.86 Books
- £32.06 Kids
- £55.26 Eating out
- £2.50 Car Parking
- £2.15 Coffee
- £0.75 Sweets!
- £36.37 Donation
- £8.00 Lottery
- £79.87 Blog update
- £80.00 Hubby
January WILL be a lot less spendy……..I hope!

You did really well with your budget Laura. I haven’t really kept to a budget in the last 2 months.
But now i’m technically in January (my months go from 26th to 26th) I am back on track.
Great news about your hubby’s bonus.

Thank you!
I way overspent on our grocery budget. I blame Christmas for that. Congrats on the increase in income.
