Can't believe we have spent less than £300 so far this year.....

Wow thats a great result.

Sent my other half to the shop for some salt and it says on the salt 69p which has been printed on it by the manufacturers. But it had a sticker on the top saying £1.10 which has been put there by the shop owner.

Some expensive salt right there..

Left over budget = £72.90

Hope OH only paid 69p for it them! If it's price-marked, it has to be sold at that price otherwise the shop keeper is in breach of trading standards.

Waste of time today at the hospital as DM's appointment was to discuss the results of the barium meal for which she is yet to receive an appointment. I honestly give up!

Got home at 7.15pm. Kids had gone to McDs for tea (as planned) but DH in bed with man flu. We had planned to get a takeout but he had a quick bite of cheese on toast and has now gone out to meet friends at the pub. I have had lo bolognaise and some ryv!ta crackers.

What a day!

I'm really not sure. At the start of the year our 2 freezers and cupboards were well stocked and have just started slowly using everything up. I use to just add to them.

Please put me down for the £350 again, very late with the plans this month.
Will try and eat out of cupboards and freezers for next few weeks as I think we have already overspent!!

Well I nipped to A$da yesterday as OH is away and I wanted a nice desert as a treat, not the nearest SM but thought it would be cheaper and I needed some new slippers too. Total spends of £20.26, had to get the dog some special treats and they do sell some things cheaper so ended up popping them in the trolley too. £6 on coffee, well excessive but ti's nice !!!
