    Have been working (tutoring) and am now back, so am reporting NSD#6.

    Am hoping for a frugal week, as funds are running low and it will be a struggle to last the month. This is largely due to me getting a little over-enthusiastic as far as the 'pay off a debt in 100 days challenge' is concerned!! Plus I have to pay the final £100 installment of DDs school trip to the IOW. The good news is, I have loads of food in the freezer and cupboard, so just need to get organised as far as meal planning is concerned. Shouldn't need to get much food in for the week :D

    Definitely! The thought's just to horrible. :eek: Home watching a movie instead. Popcorn is on the banned list though ;).

    Just back from shop so not a NSD but very worthwhile. Lunches for both of us are now sorted for the week. Going to take a friend's tip and make up the rolls and freeze them then just take them out in the morning. that's where it currently goes wrong and I end up having to buy lunch too often. Also got a good very good deal on coffee at As*a to keep MiL going (it's all she'll drink :() and dishwasher tabs - enough to last 2 months for £3!:D Have also unearthed the coffee pod machine from the loft and worked out I can cobble together a reasonable latte to take in the morning for about 30p! Much better than £2 ish at Cos*a!:) Hoping that will keep me out of the shops Monday -Friday next week. :p

    Good afternoon folks,

    Unfortunately another spend day to report, as I had to go for Diesel and then washed the car, before having lunch from a well known sandwich provider (it was nice though!). I hope everyone has enjoyed the weekend and enjoys what's left of Sunday.
