Thank you, I’m trying to encourage others to be more open about their budgets, as everyone at the moment is in a similar position, albeit just at different levels. That would be a really helpful video for me to do, but I don’t think it would be a fair and accurate video as I was fortunate to have occupational maternity pay on top of SMP, meaning I was actually better off for some months. If I can find any helpful videos, I will point you in those directions. I hope that’s okay? 😊😊 xx
Im so impressed! You budget for everything and record it in an understandable way. Same, really looking at food shop spending and saving where possible. We had lots of birthdays this month so not much savings either. Look forward to next month's review. X
That’s so lovely to hear! I’ve found this way of budgeting to help me so much! I think, if I increase my food shop budget just that little bit, I can try and make sure I’ve got money left to put into my Christmas savings! Hope you manage to reign in your food shop. 😄 thank you x
@@LaurenGreenTeaPlease Managed to save on our food shop £40 this week, and £36 last week. More meal planning has helped. Definately going to borrow your ideas with that spreadsheet. Good luck this month saving money for next Christmas, rooting for you 👏
@@sarahw980 this is the level of savings I want to be making! Would take my budget back down to before the cost of living crisis! 🤩 Ah thank you, hoping I can get back on track with it! X
I really enjoy these videos and how honest you are, no airs and graces. Would you be able to do a video on surviving maternity pay? Xx
