Good ideas I started with the diary when I had my LBM, but have not kept it up as do it in my head most of the time. but you have gone into more depth and I might do it again your way and maybe put saving into my savings IYKWIM:rotfl: ( can't fix the receipts in though as they have to go into accounts)

Hi

Can I ask what is LBM
And while on the subject what is Mr T's and Mr M's or something like that, I cant remember now.
There have been a few of these and I have worked out some but others I have no clue.
A page to say what all these Mr T's and so on mean would be good. lol
I cant for the life of me remember what IYKWIM means lol:o
The problem with me is , I like things to be just so... to fussy lol, like all the detail in my dairy.

Oh cool, thanks for that.
I should have asked earlier because when reading posts and people have said about offers at Mr T, Mr A or something I thought it was a shop called just that and I dont have one in my area, so OOPS I missed out, but at least I wont miss out again lol

So after finishing August (pay went into the bank yesterday) I have started September with an unusual (for me) shop. Mother wanted stuff from Home Bargains, so I picked up a couple of things there. Don't usually go as the nearest is not walkable and nowhere to park. It isn't far from Mother's but I normally visit after work and they are closed then.

Got toothpaste and toner for DD, yes she was with me, but saw Starclen for the first time. Got a bottle for 62p. Going to try it now.

Still can't decide on September budget, after blowing August but will post it on the September thread when I have checked my stocks.

DD wants to go to Chatsworth Country Fair on Saturday, so will need to take a picnic, or it will cost a lot for food I imagine. We don't usually do that sort of thing, but she found out about it from guide camp last week. Anyone been there?

Zzzz
