    Morning All

    Weekly shop done at @ldi. Very entertaining. Saw two young lads in Sainsbobs uniform buying their lunch stash in @ldi, lol. Even the cashier commented.

    Siggy updated, was a £60 spend. But have stuff for the storecupboard as well as the xmas box, on top of the usual gibble for feeding the children.

    Tea, coffee, laundry liquid and nappies all included in that bill, so not bad, considering...

    Back to Spendland today after the NSW/end, the twins are coming back from the festival and I guarantee they will be starving hungry, as they could not cook at the festival. For safety reasons gas camping bottles weren't allowed and they could not find our storm kettle (reminder to myself: need to look for it!) so they will have had to buy food and as they are always skint they will not have eaten much! Off to market and if not enough then off to Aldi or Lidl for cheese, pizza etc. Have a good, low spend day.
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Afternoon! Popping on to update my spends of £8.91 on various grocery-y bits and bobs. Making open chicken sandwiches tonight with 1/2 a pack of boneless and skinless chicken thighs - the rest to be used later in the week. :) I'm off to update my sig now!
