Freebie dinner tonight at the oldies

Plus 100% extra free - thats right folks I have leftovers for tomorrows dinner and some extra roast potatoes on top of that to go in the freezer.

I love my mum

What happened there then??

I've been training them into it tbh. I go round there every weekend so they've come to expect it now

I do invite them back but its nowhere near as often.

no extra spends... work travel so work paid dinner and lunch.. and flight delayed on way home so got a free feed off BA too. Was a long delay but ok cos no one else was using the telly.. so I got to watch everything I'd see at home *but* their lounge was cleaner than mine and someone else made the coffee

Had spent £39.89.

Managing ok without cigs now they have run out.

Mate came over last night for BB and we had the homemade pizzas, which she liked so much she is off to Lidl for pizza toppings today :-)

Followed by apple pie.

She also brought over vodka. Hic! Long lie today, followed by free exercise looking at all the houses which sold in my area since April and seeing how much they went for

We then went to the pub for lunch! £2.49 for spud and cheese and £1.10 for coke.

£43.48 spent. Cupboard still chokka, freezer less full! Quiet night in with video games tonight. Might make up some icecream.. except my butt is sooo big atm!! and can't afford bigger jeans.

It doesn't seem wild to me, but you could certainly cut back on that. 'Too much' is relative - can you afford it? Probably not right now. You can *probably* do your family and cats fpr about £100 with some determination (my £60 includes b/f eating a lot at weekends!) and a lot of cooking from scrtach.

I am hoping to spend less in August, being more carefull now. Not easy though. Went to Tesco to get saturday paper and could not resist their custard tarts, they are so yami. Everytime I go shopping I end up with at least 3 items I did not really need. This month however, I decided to cut back. Cats refusing to eat cheap food, Wiskas they like and leftovers from our dinner (meat only obviously).

made ice cream. bottom larger

staying at mates tonight, will need to take wine or cake... lidl en route

Haven't got as far as homebrew yet but parents have discovered demijohns etc in attic from a spell in the 80's... do i car boot them, or do i try them???

Hmm.. where did jessicamb go? Am I all alone now??

£43.48 plus £2.99 for wine was bad enough.. spent £2.20 on voddie and coke out in Edinburgh this week... and £1 on chips last night! And am off to Lidl for coke (1.09) and ice cream (whatever is on special or79p vienetta style if nothing cheaper)

So I reckon I am at £51.55!!

However.. at home all next week (hols) and freezer packed... *might* make it!!

jessicamb

I'm here

I've been really busy so tracking the spending has gone a bit by the wayside. I reckon I'm up to about £56 spent so far :eek:

I'll have an add up soon.

I'll struggle to make it to be honest but I'll try and mitigate the damages as best I can.
