    My week so far:
    Sun - NSD
    Mon - NSD and I still have my coffee voucher as it was nice out so we didn't go into a cafe!
    Tues - today I am spending an extra £20 on groceries. Technically, it's from a different budget but I am still :eek: and hoping I can cut some bits here to make up for it! I had zero grocery spend last week so it's ok as long as I don't get carried away with the rest if my spending this week...:o

    Have a great week!

    That made me chuckle, crisps is hardly lunch though. Reminds me of a dinner I once made.

    NSD yesterday and today because I have some kind of evil flu thing and feel deathly.

    At least it's good for the budget I suppose...
