I hope you don't mind me asking. I just wondered, after you have paid your bills, how much do you have to live on for a month, to buy food, petrol, treats etc?
About half our income goes on rent and bills. Then about 1/6 goes on food. Then we're left with about 200-300 which we usually waste on eating out etc. Hoping to stop this once baby is here!! xxx
Normally about ??400 but it will be cut to next to nothing when I go on maternity as I'm the main breadwinner. Things will be very strained for a few months. We're trying to save up a bit as well as buying baby things.

We have around 400 - 500 per month disposable income and thats for clothes, nights out, birthdays etc.
We include food and petrol in our outgoings as they are a must
