Welcome to Newbies !

Fozziebear - hope your knee gets better soon *hugs*. At least NNM was knight in shining armour .

I have spent £95.30 so far. I don't intend to go shopping again until Sunday. I have stocked up on some bits and pieces which makes a change. I will have to still keep an eye on the spends though as it is still early days.

Morning, I hope everyone is well.
Waffles have come out for breakfast this morning, buns out for lunch, I will make either hot dog sandwichs or egg mayonaisse, and I have no clue yet for dinner. I need to have another rummage.

I have not stuck to my meal plan at all this week. I'm just in one of those spontanious moods I think. As long as I don't combust! :rotfl:

No shopping today except to pick up my free chocolate bars from the local shop and post back a roll of badly cut toilet roll to Charmin. 6 rolls were all so bad I can not use them in the bathroom if people are coming over. I win though as they only want 1 roll back and have given me £5 of my next purchase.:j

£3 in sainsbobs on cravendale. Should mean we don't need anything for a week. Am going to aim for a 5 day run of nsd in terms of groceries. Also trying their value range of nappies, £1.41 for 20, size 5. We'll see hoe we got on with those...

Possession

£8.11 spend in Ald* as well as getting their super cheap school uniform and lots of stationery stuff. Since I got the Clarks shoes with the 50% Brantano voucher we're done now for back to school. I'll just have to sit on them all summer so they don't grow before September.

A financial OUCH! day today, our two cats at the vet's for vaccinations, worming tablets and anti-flea drops, nearly £130, it will take a lot of NSDs to compensate. Just as well the spend is not part of the GC!

Also, I am going out for dinner tonight with my friend but giving myself a budget of £6 including after dinner drink (decaf espresso at Starbucks, I already have some money loaded in the card!).

Enjoy a good low/no spend day all x
