    Morning all - it is Friday :j Tesco shopping was delivered last night - thanks to some BOGOFS it came to £101, and the freezer and fridges are full, so I don't need to worry too much about feeding my new student!

    We ate out last night - tried the Wetherspoons "Curry night" - and I have to say it was really good value......a meal for 4 of us, including drinks, came to £23! Cheaper than a takeaway!! It was a nice change, and my mystery shopping money covered it that I got yesterday so justified on the spending front!

    Talking of which, I will update my spending diary - I have kept totals each day on paper, just need to transfer them, so it is not that I have let it all slip!

    Have a good day everyone x

    My two are demob happy - DD starts two weeks work experience on Monday and DS is off on a PGL activity holiday on the same day.....so this is their last day at school for a while, and when they come back it will all be sports days, showing the new children round, etc etc, so I think this is the start of the countdown to the summer hols for them!

    It's still sunny here, but I think the thunderstorms will come sooner or later!
