WELL DONE everyone who was under :T and commiserations to those who spent too much, ah well, onwards to March!!
Final spend today of £1.49 on a 12 pack of discos for OH at Mr M (half price), bringing my total to: £183.64
First time I've been under for a while! :j Not to get complacent though as I'm keeping the same budget for March, which is a five week month :eek:
Had stir-fried veg dressed in honey, chilli, garlic, ginger and soy sauce, along with egg-fried noodles. Was nice but not too filling, ended up having a biscuit after :rotfl:
