    Morning all,

    Gorgeously sunny here this morning but a real nip in the air and the cars are all covered in dew! Autumn's nearly here :j:j:j

    In-laws have invited us out for dinner today so that's one meal I don't need to worry about :T I like free meals.

    Not much planned here today-trip to Aldi for food shop-target £60 per week on groceries-does that sound realistic? Family of 4?
    Going to get DH to pick up a jar of that curry sauce today when he goes to the gym (beside Mr S's) and make a version of Pooky's curry in the slow cooker. Also took 6 frozen bananas out of the freezer and going to make banana bread. DD/DS may have 2 friends stay over tonight...god help me...

    Beanie-is DS ok? Are you?

    I think £60 a week is about right for a family of 4 Bunny, its about what we spend including packed lunches for school and work.

    Are you feeling any brigher today?
