Hi everyone,

We spent £20.74 yesterday at Mr T's, leaving us with £18.28 left to spend! We should have everything we need for this week & the cupboards are fairly well stocked so I think & really hope we can do it, just means no expensive takeaways! We have a free meal on Saturday anyway as we are going to a wedding so I'm looking forward to that

Had a small spend for baking bots and bobs. I made twinks hobnobs, millies cookies, almond cakes, and this fruit bread, which tastes LOVELY!!

DM really needs to curb her spending lol - oh well....

Todays spends - 75p on brown bread in Mr I, £2.00 in Supadrug on kitchen rolls (got 2 packs, they were a pound each), and then £13.08 in Mr A.

Total spends £15.83 with 12 days to go.

Forgot to take Asda coupon (grr) and forgot to buy porridge, loo rolls, suet. Oh well will get them tomorrow.

hannah :-) - sorry to hear about your dog. Hope they are on the mend

MrT's this morning. DH said last night "we have nothing in" which made me really :mad: He also forgot to say he'd used up all the cheese and ham, leaving me 2 eggs for packed lunches today. I wouldn't mind but instead of having omlettes he could've had fresh pasta and sauce which is now on it's use by date and I've had to freeze it :mad:

I have therefore just spent £82.27 :eek: Did stock up on He!nz soups at 50p a tin and some F!ash spray cleaner which is only £1 HP (it's the vintage one with the 50's housewife on the label). Also He!nz ketchup 460g top down is only £1 at the moment.

I now have just under £100 til the end of the month. Seems doable but would love to come in under budget someday and even, dare I say it, reduce my budget. Wishful thinking......
