  • Work today so a NSD. Took a leftovers lunch and dinner was already prepared. Picked up book from the library, Made lunches for us all to take tomorrow and before I go to bed must put my breadmaker on.
    Moneywise not much to report - another £2 for my pot, odds in bank account to MBNA and that's about it!

    NSD

    Paid £8.13 to MBNA

    Ordered more Prezzo Vouchers from Tesco Clubcard so i can treat OH on his birthday later this month.

    Very frugal curry for tea, all bits and pieces from freezer and cupboard. Made some delicious flatbreads using only flour, Trex and water.

    No need for any heating as the sun had warmed the house up and when it started to get chilly went to bed. ;)

    Another NSD - yeh!!

    £1.27 to MBNA

    Leftovers for lunch

    Dinner all from the freezer and I refused to buy more crisps for my daughter until I next have to shop because I know what will happen if I step foot in a shop.

    Money - £30 personal spending still intact, £10.56 in my food purse for weekend top ups. Doesn't look like there will be much left at the end of the week though!

    Bank account which is budgeted to within an inch of it's life is looking ok.

    Picked up 1p from the road!!!!
