Day off today - after reflection I decided my extra for fun course was causing way too much stress as this is my only day to catch up with housework and study and generally take a breath:o I now accept the fact that I'm not 19 and don't live in the city...
So shopping done for the week for £25 and that includes stuff to do some batch cooking so should be less next week:cool: I am on a frugal-not-quite-fast and while I do have to spend some money I am cutting way back in order to replenish those savings and get the kitchen fund up. No more MOPs for a wee while, I shall just let that plod along at it's own pace. (Then again I'll probably reconsider yet again next week and OP:o)Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
Mortgage balance: £34,965

Paid yesterday but went back into savings, I'm resisting urge to OP but need to start looking at kitchens soon:o
