    I've just had a couple of days where I've bought a lot locally - bad planning, or to be precise, no planning.
    I need to realise Christmas is over and I've got to plan the rest of Jan - I've only got £150 left.

    I will do the plan tonight...probably.
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.
