  • LC enjoying your cooking I usually end up doing batching cooking one day a month, it is a pain but worth it you save lots of money and eat much healthier.

    Anyway had a rather long day at work so no spends for me. I did go to the supermarket to get a couple of bits for dinner but this came out of groceries. Also bookgroup tomorrow has been postponed. It is strange I can't seem to spend my money this week, not that I am complaining:p This month is looking good generally, I think I have finally cracked this budgetting lark or else I am getting cocky and I will eat my words.

    Roll on hump day tomorrow.:j
