Entertainment / eating out - I budget £350
Clothes for self? £70 -£100 for me (need a good work wardrobe regularly refreshed and put on a lot of weight)

Me, DS (5), and DM (terminally ill and relies on me financially)

How much do you spend on
food / supermarket - £1k a month, all in (but includes lots of organic and pre-prepped stuff)
Entertainment / eating out - £600 a month? £50ish per weekend day plus a few mid-week meals out
Clothes for self? £300/400 (have lost a lot of weight so rebuilding wardrobe, plus regularly have work meetings and need to look presentable)
clothes for kids? £50ish - everything NWT from vinted

annual Christmas? £2k minimum as I host and we do a lot of festive activities
annual birthdays? £400 on (roughly) 40x gifts for parties DS is invited to, £600 DS party, £200 DS gifts, £1k gifts for my friends/family?
