Really it is up to you what you include, if you spend the same on groceries and petrol every week I would not include it but if you think including it would help you cut down on your spending there, then go for it.
Nothing to report so far on the spending front. Work has been too busy for me to spendWeekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30

Went to Morrisons yesterday, but only spent from my groceries budget so still got my £5 in tact, only three days left for me this week!Debt free 11/05/11!
Savings £4000/ £3000 -
I fear this week will be grave for my finances... I "popped" into town yesterday - fatal mistake! Spent £1.60 on a drink with a friend, £4.99 on pillows for my ds (he only had two very dubious ones on his double bed, which combined support is less than a folded pillow case- £4.99 on a skirt, £1.99 on a scarf & £2.99 on a belt, all very nice, am very happy to have made these "investments" but given the social committments I have this week not sure I'm gonna make it....

Have to report a disastrous week last week. Had a friend visiting for 4 days so food shopping was a lot more than usual. Went to London for the day with friend and spend silly money on hobby stuff. And had a big birthday present to buy. Won't admit how much over I went but it runs into 3 figures. I have about £25 left in my purse and that will have to last until Friday and cover some food shopping we need. Oh well upwards and onwards. Fed up now.Mortgage and Debt free but need to increase savings pot. :think:0

Another £10.75 today, so £22.90. Shouldn't have too many further costs this week, just an eBay parcel to post, so cautiously hopeful!Total debt: [STRIKE]£9473.62[/STRIKE] £7,384.87 22% PAIDTAF #25 NSD 8/12 | Food £43.45/£50 | eBay 0/20 | Exercise 5/18:T Proud to be Dealing with my Debt :TDFD: June 20150

Spent £2.15 on breakfast yesterday morning then went to tesco to buy some cider, which they didn't have, so ended up spending £2.55 on junk food. I have no will power!!
Just chcked my purse and I have 1.72 left, so total spend so far is £8.28 I think. Got my mentor meeting tomorrow which will cost about a fiver I think, and none of my ebay stuff sold so no postage to pay for!Became Mrs Scotland 16.01.16Became homeowners 26.02.16
