    £57.71 spent today. £12.50 of that was on lavender oil and vervain for my son (he is a horrific sleeper and before he's prescribed melatonin we want to explore aromatherapy).

    I'm writing this month off :(

    I'm declaring a small overspend for September, not happy, but less than I was dreading! Was aiming for £450, but coming in at £478, thanks to the lovely peeps who organise all this! Hopping over to October to start again!
