Hi guys,
My total spend for 2009 to date is £693.45 / £1200
It's well over the halfway mark so I'm hoping that as summer approaches and the garden starts producing some extra food, spending will reduce.
I spent £134.13 during May, so the freezer is still full. Got holiday guests for a few days during June, so hoping there's enough in to keep them happy.
Hope everyone is making the most of the good weather.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.
