I'm back this week too - been a bit naughty already though 78p on fruit gums and chewing gum - but packed lunch in work fridge and no plans for the day so that's my spend for today I think.
Good luck everyone0 -

Welcome Back Pippo!
Looking forward to hearing about your hols, you've been missed!
It'll be an evening of sorting out bills for me tonight, just waiting for internet banking to even itself out!

Well I don't know what happened there! One minute I had a £10 note in tact in my wallet and then it was gone! I really was very bad as I didn't know what I was spending it on, so I think I'd better scratch last week and start again! That's not a very good advert for saving money is it?!

Yay! NSD for me today... well as far as unneccesary things go. Did good shopping today (£39 inc weeks dog food and one tin of formula - both of which have seperate, as yet untouched budgets:j ), so still got enough left to get OH a steak from the butcher (didn't have any nice ones in this morning)
Happy with that so far!
