Summary 

Welcome to our March spending post! Our total spend for the month was £2,677. 

Not as high as February, but another month above our ideal spending level! As we continue to settle back into UK life, we’re finding various things we want to buy to improve our quality of life. Most of these can be found in the Entertainment/misc section below!  

It’s frustrating, but we really want to kit ourselves out with good quality ‘stuff’ which lasts, so we can fully enjoy our new life back in the UK. We expect our spending to settle down very soon and hopefully find a level below £2,000. 

Summary 

Welcome to our February spending post! Our total spend for the month was £3,729. 

This is a huge jump from our new ‘normal’, because we booked a holiday! We’re in need of a break so excited to be going to Portugal at Easter time. We booked all inclusive to make the trip as relaxing as possible, as it will be our last break before baby 2 arrives in July! 

Summary 

Welcome to our January spending post! Our total spend for the month was £1,929. 

Our spending is settling down now, as we get used to life in our new home! 

Summary 

Welcome to our December spending post! Our total spend for the month was £2,945. 

We bought lots of furniture and general bits for the house this month. Hopefully the total will be much lower next month!  

Summary 

Welcome to our November spending post! Our total spend for the month was £1,432. 

This is a bit misleading as it was actually a very expensive month. We moved into our new home!! 

However, a large rent refund cancelled out a large amount of our spending. See below for more details.  

We managed to purchase our house mortgage free, so we’re excited to see how low we can keep our expenses going forward.  

Summary 

Welcome to our October spending post! Our total spend for the month was £1,290. 

Having paid our rent up front, we’re now seeing the rewards for an expensive September!  

We just moved in so we haven’t started paying any bills just yet.  

Summary 

Welcome to our September spending post! Our total spend for the month was £9,697. 

Ouch!! 

It’s a huge month, as we continue to get set back up in England. We’ve paid 6 months’ rent up front, while we wait for our house purchase to go through. We also purchased various things for the flat/house, including a good quality, non-toxic mattress for Baby Way.
