'I love you but I love ME more' Souk's 2011 diary

Glad the funeral went well, never easy

And I can't think of a better way to end today than spending it with a gay chum on the vino :T

Well so far I have spent £61.02 on food for the month :eek: and it's only the 9th. This is horrific and means I will also need to take money from the spendy budget for food. I hope to tighten up and only spend another £20 on food so I will still then have £50 for next week and £65 for the one after.

Have £7 in my purse for now and hope that will do til Thursday.

Will be in work late tomorrow anyway as we have a staff meeting and then on Tuesday I'm travelling for a work meeting again so no socialising to fund til next weekend. Just thinking as the meeting on Tuesday is longer than usual and I wont be home til 10pm I can probably claim for a few deli bits through expenses as if I wasn't on the diet I'd buy something at the station so that might get me a few pounds back. :j

I also have £2.50 worth of Nectar points which I can use too and have some food in.

Had a bit of a sore head today after the night out but it was fab! :beer: Haven't even had a shower today :eek:. My mate stayed til 2ish and we drank tea and had a fester and then I made chilli and my other 2 mates came round for more tea and a chat. Really nice day. Just watching Dancing on Ice tonight and then I'll have an early night.

Sounds like a perfect weekend.....and one richly deserved too.

Enjoy your evening x

Sounds like a lovely weekend. Shame about the budget but it will balance itself out eventually. It is always hard when starting a new regime until you get the feel for it.

Love the idea of a piece a month. Might steal that. Do socks count?

Souk08

Not to me cheri. I only buy cheap socks and tights etc so if I need them I just buy them!

My food spend seems to have racked up recently too and I'm not sure why. I think that prices are going up by a few pence here and there so you don't notice as much but means the bills are going up by pounds each time.

Bah!

Souk08

I think food is dearer FF but my bill is up due to the diet. Tis expensive to eat like this X

MrsMoo2U

Food is definitely going up. I used to be able to get 4 pomegranites for £1 and this weekend they were £1 each!! Diet food always seems more expensive because you are cooking from scratch. Can you batch cook things to make the pennies go further?

Souk08

I can't on this phase of the diet Cheri due to the restrictions. I do normally though and have made a chilli for this phase but that's as much as I can do to keep costs down. In normal months I do all my food shopping on about £60 and eat really well so no complaints on that front really, just need to get this belly away! X

Having met you in person, I feel I can say "Belly? Pah!"
