    The plug has been removed from the tumble dryer, hopefully that will remove the temptation to use it.
    I've done a full audit of the cupboards and freezer, organised menus and written a shopping list. I'll set off on foot tomorrow to buy groceries. Walking is exercise, saves petrol and if I can't carry it I can't buy it.
    I' trying to plot the months where we have significant expenditure.
    Mortgage Dec 2013 £125,100.00

    I have been so focused in my shopping today, no luxuries or extras just what I need for my weeks menu. However, a friend phoned and asked to meet for coffee in a coffee shop, shes been having a tricky time so i agreed, somehow I ended up buying her coffee and she asked for cake! It makes me sound very tight but it was £8:20 I hadn't budgeted for. Day 2 of my quest and it hasn't gone to plan!
