    Hi, it's called Daily Cost. It's for iPhone and it's free. Very easy to use and loads of spending categories. HTH.

    Thanks but unfortunately I'm on Android, but will see if it's available.

    Oh, I only downloaded it last week and it was free then. That's a shame because it is really good. They do seem to change prices a lot on the App Store.

    I'll keep an eye on it then & hopefully it will revert to free again :D

    Decided to have a nose round Home Bargains when I dropped my daughters off nearby and came out £9.70 lighter, £2 for nine toilet rolls, I *think* that's a bargain as they look better quality than Sains Basics, also bought a Colgate toothbrush and a load of cakes/biscuits.

    Went to Sains this morning, got £19.50 off shopping in discounts and using up nectar points, bought fresh fruit, bread, milk, cooked meat, yogurts, dog treats etc, total spent was £22.64. Ben & Jerry's ice cream on offer, down from £4.49 to £3, cashier kindly pointed out it was still expensive :)

    Have meal planned until Saturday so would like to spend as little as possible until then, maybe some brocolli around Thurs, I know how to live x

    Meal plan

    YS lamb mince in tomato/garlic/basil sauce, basics pasta, salad, Aldi garlic bread.

    YS turkey steaks chopped into curry with onion, carrot and mushroom, Basics rice and YS spring rolls.

    Fishfingers, baked potatoes, veg or beans.

    YS Sausage and mash, veg

    YS prawn, Iceland cod and salmon in fish pie

    YS beef spicy casserole with rice.

    All hopefully quick and easy, if a little basic but as I work full time, it will have to do :)

    Mmm...marrow...reminds me of marrow and sausage meat...I was brought up on that!
    We did go foraging and got a big tub of blackberries yesterday so it's homemade blackberry and apple crumble for pud today.
