Yum. Prezzo is lovely, film was fab, I'm stuffed, and not very much poorer at all!

Pet owner has taken back her rodents and I am now £30 richer (plus £15 danger money to replace the towel they chewed a MAHOOSIVE hole through, little swines!) money has already been spent on a driving lesson so I've just got to hang on to it and filter it back through the budget and make sure I don't spend it on crap . Towel will be replaced this afternoon, when we go out shopping for clothes for daughter (budgeted for in clothes budget so all good there too). And just need to spend a few quid on cheese for a homemade pizza as we are down a meal plan because friend cancelled visit so after a rummage through the freezer, we came up with a plan that involved very minimal spend

Not bad!

Oh and I opened another savings account (nationwide) for groceries money... We are trying to spend under budget and are actually managing it, so the plan is to have a savings account where I chuck any weekly underspend into, and then at the surplus can be spent on Christmas food or whatever!

It's a shame your oven is too small. HM yorkshires are just in a different league to shop ones. In fact not really playing the same game.

To be honest, I used to make gf ones before bought ones were available, (rarely, and when the oven wasn't being used for anything else) and I think the bought ones are nicer they're really tricky to get light as the flour is so hefty, so I'm happy with my tesco purchase!

7 days to go before normal earning resumes I've sent an invoice to a couple of students and one has paid a small amount for lessons owed. The other invoice won't be paid until next week as it's for lessons in advance, but it's a nice big one for over £200 when it arrives

£4.80 has been duely thrown at the tax fund account I'm being awfully good with that.

And I finally spent my birthday money and vouchers from Christmas! Supplemented with the rest of my 'personal money' funds of £20 for this month. Marks and spencer... An awesome pair of brown knee length boots, a fluffy dressing gown with a gurt big hood, a make up bag, and a skirt :j happy days!
