    £22.54 added to the kitchen fund.

    Still no banking done.

    Visitors today at work and Management Meeting this afternoon - boo!

    Shopping later at Herr A - need to do next week's menu plan - really must do one for the whole of October - not saving enough on the food budget.

    Will figure something out for tea later.

    Hope everyone is ok (Friday tomorrow, sooooo looking forward to yoga!)

    £70 added to House Fund from PAT testing.

    Still no pay in at the bank - using the money instead of drawing cash.

    50ps still to pay in.

    So manic at the moment - hope to do a proper report soon.

    Hiya MIA here!

    Still no proper time for an update.

    Just wanted to add £4.13 interest from last month and £10 for sale of SW cardboard cut out to the Kitchen fund.

    50ps are still weighing my bag down and I am sure that we will have another lot soon.

    Alot more spending than saving going on...

    Good news is that the rental property is 'nearly' ready - fingers crossed for the end of the month.

    Hope to back on regular basis soon.

    Hope everyone is well - I'll have my work cut out catching up with diaries I am sure.
