    Evening

    No spends to report today. I bought wine but sneaked that out of groceries so still on £1 / £30

    Think I am going to buy soup tomorrow as I didn't make anymore this evening but hopefully not much else. Not long until the weekend.

    Hi all,

    Meant to pop on yesterday but the day ran away with me... first post updated anyway!

    I completely ballsed up last week and lost track of everything as had several budgets on the go between cash and card - normally I stick with cash. Either way, won't make that mistake again! So i'm calling it a red week!

    I'll pop over to the new thread now, thanks pp
