Total spend is now £32.77/£40

Spent £3.70 on lunch with a friend yesterday so total spend for the week is £36.47.

I also paid for some biscuits etc for work using gift vouchers and was repaid with cold hard cash, so managed to put over £6 into my piggy bank yesterday

Hi - I'm just over my £10 budget this week. I've spent £10.50, though I'm pleased I wasn't more in the red as a friends party turned up suddenly and I needed to get a present.

As I've got a wedding to attend later in the month I'm going to reduce my budget to just £6 for the next week please.

Flying Fresian - a notebook for OS recipes is such a good idea, I must start one! I'm rubbish at cooking without a recipe in front of me.

I must have spent about three hours last night going through threads on OS looking for recipes!

I'm not a very confident cook, so need to have a detailed step by step recipe to follow, and a lot of the ones on OS assume a level of knowledge! I'm slowly going to fill this notebook though and soon I will be an OS goddess.

I'm just the same, especially after a days work when my brains a bit fried and I start using sugar instead of salt etc:eek:. I had one of the BBC Good Food magazine 3 for a £1 deals, and have been finding their budget meals really helpful and tasty.

I think I'll have to have a hunt about and see if I can find an old notebook in the house tho - next weeks budget is looking quite tight already.
