Oh how lovely! Great news!

In my news, I spent £27.85 in the co-op yesterday, taking my food total to £33.95/£100

Treats were the 2 for £3 blocks of cheese (I did have cheese on the list, but not two different types) and proper coffee as Mr L bought me a mini-cafetiere for my birthday - I am currently having mega tasty porridge and fresh, delicious coffee.

Had a delicious supper after my run - wholewheat pasta, sliced warm beetroot (from my mama's garden), kale, cannelini beans, garlic and a sprinkling of caerphilly. And I have two portions left for lunches!

Morning!

Thanks for the answer Kat that helps a lot!

Had a great day yesterday. Shop with voucher came to £26.65. Kiddies and hubby have been told from now on main shop is on a Monday and I will ONLY be buying milk, fruit and veg as a top up. If they eat an entire pack of cereal in 2 days (yes really!!) they will have porridge or toast until the next week ~ I wonder how long it will take for them to realise I mean it?!

Money also taken out for travel, hair and school dinners.

Yesterday I made soup, fruit loaf and cooked a gammon for tea. The remainders of that will fill sandwiches (rather than buying ham seperately) and probably do another dinner.

Popping out to get DS2 hair cut today before he starts school tomorrow, but mainly planning to blitz the house so should be a sfd. Might also make some chocolate orange muffins but I'll see how time goes.

Have donated to the Trussell fund via text as I can't find any food donations nearby (thanks whoever posted the details!)

Realised I hadn't posted about my dfd. At the moment it should now be sometime in 2016, BUT if I work hard and save hard I could potentially bring it forward to Sept 2015. Really hoping I can stay focused and make it then. DS2 will be starting senior school in 2015, I should of finished training and it means I can look for work and the money will be mine ~ not someone else's!

Have a great day everyone!
