    £14.47 at tescos for the top up grocery shop (and new vests, trousers and jumper for little miss won't-stop-growing) - although came to £18+ I had some vouchers I've been saving. and £1.80 on a book of stamps, of which I needed one, and the rest are safe in my wallet.

    Not the lowest spend ever, but still - no more grocery shopping till next week! :T

    I spent absolutely nothing today. Spent 2 hours on my new allotment which I even have rent free for 6 months as it is in such a state. Retail therapy through 40 free prints from snapfish with free postage code.
