Spicy lentil cup a soup, with a couple of ryvita slices.
Fruit pot, and a bottle of flavoured water.
Nothing too exciting, but the Oktoberfest is within my reach this year, the thought of that is what keeps me being good.Ebay 13........1583.46/2000.00 Amazon sales 54/50 Etsy sales 63/50

Off to a good start, all! Its my first day back from holiday (up walking Hadrians wall!).
Sign me up for another no spend month please.
I will have to do some grocery shopping today as we have no food at all in the house, but my lunch will be included in that so I'll consider it part of my regular weekly shop.Mortgage free by 30:eek:: £28,000/£100,000Debt free as of 1 October, 2010
