    Had spent £36.89. Having a very bad day today, so went to farmfoods and spent

    £1 on pizza
    £1 on skinny cow cones
    £1 on diet coke

    £39.89 spent. Better than £12 I would normally have had on home delivery pzza, curly fries and haggen daas.
    Debt free 4th April 2007.
    New house. Bigger mortgage. MFWB after I have my buffer cash in place.

    It must be a weekend thing!

    After a really good week I've slipped a bit and have to confess to £3.20 today - two diet cokes and lunch.

    Total remaining £56.30

    I am redeeming myself by going round to the oldies tonight for dinner though :D

    Definitely a Friday Thing! My OH just rang me to say his boss is shouting him dinner. Wish i hadn't defrosted a whole pack of chicken breasts (planning curry) now. Booo... Peanut butter on toast and one of Emmzi's skinny cow cones would go down far better

    £10.58 on weekly shop and £3.56 on McDonalds (I know I know).

    Its about half what I usually spend :A but I still think I could have gone lower - I did throw in a few chocolate bars and a notebook (for keeping all the stuff I pick up from OS board in. I keep losing the scraps of paper I normally scribble on) that even I wouldnt say I needed but I only bought the ones on special offer.

    Total remaining £41.06 :j

    yesterdays meals.. all from freezer...

    brocolli soup
    quorn lasagne (nice change from lentils but essentially the same recipe!)
    lidl apple strudel and h/m ice cream

    Today mum wants to go shopping in Lidl.. which means free shopping for me!!! yay! Don't feel too guilty because let's face it, it's nearly impossible to take advantage for more than a tenner there even if you stuff your trolley!!!
