    :money: I will never be rich but I'm happy :rotfl:

  • I made an aple pie to use up old apples and then realised I didn't have anything to put on it. Sent hubby to shop for ice cream and he bought loads of stuff we didn't need. He spent "about a fiver".

    Have a day off work "woohoo". So have time to do some cooking. Will make spicy lentil soup for lunch I think and then we're out at a gig this evening.

    This weeks spends are a bit of a mystery. I know what I've spent but oh has had a week off work and has seemed to visit the sm a LOT even though we have plenty in cupboards. I spent £6.00 at Pound*and on bits for my work lunches next week that I've left at work so I don't eat it or forget it. Will only need to add some fruit to that. I am going to guesstimate OH has spent £30 this week on bits and pieces. I also spent £4.50 last night on veggies for our Chicken Itame last night and a choccie bar treat for snacking with our movie. Oh, and £1.50 on a bacon roll on way to work.
    So that's £42 to add to my total.

    An £11.03 spend in Tescos on stuff for the week ahead.

    Got a good deal on YS pizzas, half off. Grabbed 3 for the freezer. Pizza always goes down well in my house for those "can't be !!!!!d" dinners.
    Because it's fun to have money!
