    Debt-free and Proud!
    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 :D

    Kat, I didn't see any Colin Caterpilar cakes :rotfl:

    ETA: WTG Kat on the badge!

    Matalan? Cheap and chirpy.
    Also George at Asda do some nice 'young' clothes.

    Thanks Wannabee ~ haven't got a George nearby but there is a Matalan where we're going on Saturday ~ we'll have a look!

    SFD yesterday as planned, will have to go shopping but undecided whether that'll be today or tomorrow......will update later.

    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 sides ;)
