Really should get dressed and have some real food.... Only had a coffee and half a dark bounty so far! On another note have any of you tried the spending diary website....? I gave it a go last night and input 5 days worth of my spends.... I am averaging nearly £25 a day altho that includes all cash/card spends (not DDs or STOs) - I wouldn't mind but I've not done my main grocery shop yet but does include a mini grocery shop I did the other day!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
