    :j Wonderful, slobby day with lots of hot tea, the internet, old films on TV, and cosy pyjamas. Haven't needed to spend anything and having a fab day. Just got my remortgage through so saving a fortune every month - the cards are all ripped up now and paid off and I'm finally at the stage of only owing £1000. A big difference from £11,000! Savings account has been set up and is ready to go and I'm finally feeling more like the old me. Wish me luck!

    £15 in Tesco. Milk, butter, coffee, spaghetti hoops for child, coleslaw (to go with the stuff I have in my freezer), ibuprofen for my cold, some wrapping paper for a present for my best friends little lad, a 97p toy plane for the cold-ridden child I had to take with me, and £1.31 for some discontinued suncream for the child (Johnsons factor 40, perfect for nursery for the summer) and 4 cans of cider for me because it's Saturday, my husband is 100's of miles away, I have a cold and I feel sorry for myself. £10 came out of the grocery fund, and I put £5 towards it out of the spending money I have allowed myself for the week.

    Sorry if this is too much information. Apart from the suncream and the wrapping paper, everything else was on the list I made before I left the house. I usually go round Tesco like I'm doing a trolley dash then stick it on the credit card, so this really is the start of my money saving.
