I think for me a lot of the time, I find it hard to justify the costs of things like that when it's only me here ..... if I was part of a couple / family so more than one person was getting the use of it (even just to eat the stuff from it), it's more justifiable ... does that make any sense?:oGrocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)

There's only me and DS but when I bought it I was on a decent wage and doing WW - it worked for me and I've kept the weight off so justifiable in that sense at least;).Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
