    Yeah, well done, squirrel! My housemate spends around £40 a week on food. He doesn't buy value brand stuff ever, I've told him it tastes the same, but he doesn't believe me.

    Hi Karma :hello:

    Ruby, got to say I'm faltering a bit as I get a payrise next month and it would be nice to spend a little bit more on 'nice' food.. I still have the bad habit of splurging/ treating myself at payday then ending up on beans on toast at the end of the month! :o Ah well, it's an ongoing learning curve, isn't it? :)

    If I shop by myself we're spending £25 a week; if Wayne tags along the shopping bill averages £70 - £90:eek: :eek: :eek: and usually there's naff all to eat when we get home anyway!

    I'd ban him from coming with me but that rather defeats the purpose! When I'm a SAHM (April to end of January 2010) I'll be able to do more regular trips by myslef (well with Evie in her pram) and make sure we just buy what we need AND if I walk to Asda and back it's a 2 mile walk each day:cool:

    Im not sure today Maz-
    I am going to do my 30 Day Shred, I think! I've run Sun/Tue and did the Shred Mon/Wed. (you're supposed to do it everyday...) but I am wondering if that's why I've not slept this week?

    maybe doing it too late in the day??

    i shouldn't think you need to shred every day as well as running... just on non running days would do, eh? As you have been....

    you been gymming it at all? at the ladies wot lunch gym?
