Thanks all you lovely peeps!
Really pleased:D
So today...
- spent £2 ..bleach and shampoo..I know how to live :rotfl:
- made some peanut butter cookies..amended the recipe so didn't have to buy any more ingredients
- made up some burgers..grated parsnip, onions, lentils and lamb mince.. Surprisingly good when it's just stuff from the fridge and freezer! Also made bread rolls which turned out well.
- trying to work out if I can get to next week without a SM shop. Last real one was in early September

So...
- heating on timer..have to say a happier household especially for anyone rising before 6 which is most days
- spending much less than we earn..which is great news but current account still looks a little sorry for itself. Can't entirely understand why..maybe I need to keep better track of the OPs which I tend not to register on the budget..hmmm
- OH knows I am getting pretty wound up about money so we are planning to talk about it in real detail this week..just need to find the time in between work:(
- away with friends this weekend which should be lovely. Only petrol to pay and we are staying in with a takeaway on Saturday eve so minimal spends
- lodger continues to be v v lovely..I can so recommend it to anyone on this board who has a spare room
- spent money yesterday but DD1 needed new school shoes...I didn't need a magazine but hey it was £3 so it's a much smaller treat than I would have allowed myself in the past so I can cope
Hope everyone is OK. Will touch base soon.
