    Have adjusted my totals for spending on Tuesday now that I've checked my online account.

    Have spent a further £29.75 today bringing my total to £118.71/£250. Still got another 2 shops to do this month so looking good to have some more money to transfer to savings. As we're going on holiday soon I think it might go to holiday savings.

    Evening
    Not posted for a few weeks, I have started doing an online course and Thursdays when I do my shopping and would post my spend is the time i need to be online doing coursework. Will try and post on a Friday. Not doing to bad so far, I am expecting to come in under budget this month I have only spent £152, and only one week to go. That said this coming week is half term and will have both DD and DS home, and they are both likely to be here for a month, which I am very happy about, but they both eat a good amount. I have built up a fair store cupboard so sure we will survive. Dont want to go over as had to have some work done on the car this week and it was £450. Could have done without that, but need a car so no choice really. I am fortunate that nearly every day has been a NSD, although dont reckon the coming week will be the same. We have a car boot sale locally this weekend, so am hoping to get some bargains. Last time I got a designer blouse for £1.00!!!
    Thoughts to all. Mrs D.
