Hello all!

Not had a very DFW weekend We popped to Mr T's on Saturday mornig for some bits and catfood (as it's still half price) and only planned to spend £20 max so left the £6 off £40 voucher at home but guess what? Thanks to DH (he's like shopping with a kid - pester power!) I ended up spending £43 on I don't even know what :mad:

Then I bought my "adopted" neice (best friend 2's daughter) some overpriced tat for her birthday. She's really into Jack Wills because all her friends are and she wants to fit in so said I would buy her some bits, definitely not DFW

Yesterday, I tried the frugal mince recipe - didn't manage to make 40 portions out of my 1kg of mince but did make 24 portions including chilli, lasagne, cottage pie filling and bolognaise so at least yesterday was slightly more DFW.

Still 11 days to payday, eek! Think I may have to dip into the CC again

Still had no takeaways in March feeling quite pleased about that. If I have pasta for tea I can make it another NSD too

I have bitten the bullet and just withdrew my savings (only a few hundred) but I have massively overspent this month already. I have my sisters wedding present to prepare, some car cover to get and some more bills to pay.

I have to justify this to myself as I feel that I have failed already, but it's just a wobble and I can start again next month :j

Thanks for reading

We all have little wobbles, be proud of what you've paid off already and think what would have happened if you hadn't had savings to raid. You made that savings pot

DF thing I did today was bake some cakes with my daughter (she's 2 and a half), it got quite messy but she enjoyed herself and as a bonus she doesn't like them!
