    Hi Moozie!

    I hope the family dinner has gone/is going really well. Are you loving entertaining in your new home?

    OK to update on last weeks budget. I said no more than £120 and I actually spent £90.43! :j :j So under budget.


    Moving on to today's spends:
    Groceries/main Sainsburys shopping trip £42.52.

    Then had to go back as forgot to buy apples (2 types & bananas), d'oh, and whilst I was in there I treated myself to a bowl of their ready prepared salad stuffs (where you can put as much as you like of the different types into a plastic bowl IFKWIM) for my lunch. A rare treat indeed! £4.51 total.

    So total spend today is £47.03.

    NEW BUDGET
    Now as for the budget for this week, including the groceries I bought today...I am going to set a new budget of:
    £75.

    Hope that's all clear for you Mooz! :smiley:

    Spent £3 on a chicken sarnie.

    May have a bill coming in the post. Think i've been flashed for speeding (i know i know...i deserve to be hung like Saddam). Was doing about 56-57 in a 50......empty 'A' road just by the Belfry golf course. There was a police speed van hiding behind a tree. Oh well.....have to wait now. That'll be £60 and 3 points. :(

    I'm back on board after my Christmas break. I've got £20 in my purse and that's my limit. I'm actually hoping I'll still have £10 left over for next week!
