Hi everyone .... really, really bad day at the hospital today (long story so I won't bore you all!) - anyway, I ended up having 2 :eek: Lattes (as was there so long & it really all went pear shaped ) so that was £3.80!:eek:

AND .... I have to go back on Tuesday

Sorry to hear that rising. Hope you are ok though.

Well epic fail for me today.

I had £21.50 left, went to do a grocery shop as needed bunny veg, and thought I'd see if i could get my bits today to last until Monday.

Well I decided to treat myself and buy one of the Chinese meal for two only £5, but thought that would do me two meals, as I am back to cooking for one again. I also picked up some bits to make Spag Bol at the weekend as have the mince already. So will get 6 meals from that.

Got to the till and had spent £22.95. :mad: ooops. So had to use my card so now need to put my money aside to go towards next week, so I don't completely blow it.

ETA
Petrol - £25/ £25
Groceries- £37.95 / £40 (but haven't bought sawdust!!! So will have to budget that into next weeks spends)
Misc - £13.50 / £10

So am now at £76.45 / £75 :eek:
