    Evening

    I had to buy lunch today as I was expecting to be fed at a meeting and wasn't.

    Total now £26.82/£30.00.

    I will be taking my lunch with me tomorrow so I only need some diet Pepsi. This week should be ok for green again :)

    Not doing to bad this week!

    Mon: £4.10 on food for lunch
    Tues: £3.90 on food for lunch
    Weds: £3.40 on drain unblocker
    Thurs: £3.60 on yoghart breakfast pots (though £1.25 of that is owed back to me - need to chase up today).

    That brings me to: £15/£20 (or £13.75/£15 if I can get my money back!)

    I need to get brekkie and lunch today - but I'll stick to Boots for that! Have been absolutely awful for preparing lunches at home this week due to getting in and falling asleep!! Now I'm starting to feel a bit better, hopefully that won't happen quite so much!!
