Groceries: £91/£300
Fun: £0/£100
Debt paid: £0/£460
SFD: 1/20
Lunchtime spends:
£2 cake from Mr T's - A friend is making us a cake as a gift for our party on Saturday.
£12 at the butchers - £1 on meat for kitty which should last him a week, £1 on meat for butties and £10 for 2 steaks for Hubby's birthday tea (cheaper than taking him out!)
£2 on bread at the bakers
Hubby says my CC has finally arrived so I'm paying it tonight pronto. I've also noticed online I've got £5 halifax reward on my CC (as well as on my current account) so my debt is £5 less than expected
Kat, I didn't see any Colin Caterpilar cakes :rotfl:
ETA: WTG Kat on the badge!0 -

Kerri, I bought some cooked meat bits, 69p for 100g. Harley will only eat biscuits but will eat a bit of meat if you offer him some. I gave him a piece of cooked chicken last night about an inch square cut up and even then he left some of that! My plan is to put a bit on top of wet cat food to see if will encourage him to eat the pouches I bought him. I know his biscuits are a complete meal but I think cats should have a bit of meat in their diet too.
The other cats would eat £1 of meat without it even touching the sides0 -
I am starting to love this babe, catepillar cake, puddy-tat thread ...lol! Kerry ... I did wonder where you disappeared to! Glad you are back and happy.. big move then very soon! Super exciting times ahead for you... do you know what you are having yet..? Glad you are remaining very MSE about it though!!!..(...and safe)
HM my MOG is not overly fussed with meat. She will lick the jelly off and leave the rest...
