    Resorted my spreadsheet, it's now got all the categories I forgot and I can think of. So that's a plus. Checked my savings and they're OK, also checked the CC's and I really want to try and get as much as I can cleared off them.

    Not been able to jog and shred today since my calf decided it wanted to play up yesterday afternoon and night, so didn't want to risk it.

    Made up for it by walking Kai to the bus stop so he can go see his nipper, then into town where I bought a lot of cleaning stuff and loo roll, that sorta thing, then onto Aldi's for the cheap air freshener and tins of sweetcorn/pineapple/sauce for meatballs. Spent probably £20 but got all we'll need for a bit. Have walked 16401 steps today which is brilliant, also managed to clean the flat so feel quite pleased with myself.

    Food diary:
    B - banana
    L - baked beans and sausages
    S - popcorn
    D - bolognese stuff

    Also need to:
    Read more Silas Marner - it'll come out when I go for a cigarette
    Read more Let The Right One In
    Sort out recipes into file
    Possibly watch a film - one of RDJ I think :D
    Do more reading for uni.
    Sort out files for new timetable.....

    OK, so I've now finished Let The Right One In, and I'm going to start on Fight Club. On Chapter 2 of Lady Audley's Secret, so I'm not doing too badly at all.
    Need to read The Vindication of the Rights of Woman, so I'll start that in a bit.

    To add to my to-do list I'd like to add the following spending challenges:

    1. £10 for the week for tobacco products
    2. £10 for the week for all other stuff
    3. £20 for groceries.

    Already have swimming money saved so that isn't needed - I'll save it every week from when I have money and then put it to one side.
