    well budget set £100.00 a week £44 in lidl ,will need more food next week need to plan kids breakfasts better ,buy twice as much eggs.need to clear out food from freezer .that leaves £56 -£5 on passport photos £9.00 on piano that leaves dinner money £20 football money£5 and guides £1.50.wonder if we can live out of the cupboards until next friday .i'm gonna try .will meal plan this week so i dont forget anything .so £15.50 left for the week lol should be doable given what is in the freezers/cupboards..
    wonder though about £35.50 being counted in my weekly shopping bill as these expenses wont vary and i reckon i will be ok until its razors/shampoo/soap pwder week might make my budget £135.50 for a while .

    Hi elly - thanks for your support on my diary! Investment in slimming world will be worth it. I did weightwatchers a few years ago and it worked - I think it was the thought of the embarrassment at weigh in if I'd gained! You also get re-educated in the way you eat and there is so much support from other members. Good luck!!
