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.  We break our main expenses down into broad categories starting with the big 3; housing, food and transport. Everything else falls into the entertainment category, with any large inclusions explained in detail.   CategoryAmountNotes Housing£634See below Food£652See below Transport£198See below Entertainment/misc£1,193See below Total£2,677
