    Had a good few spends today, as was off to the pictures; so went into HB for the first time in ages, and got treats for the film, two Ferrero Rocher filled bunnies, treats for weekend and toiletries and crisps. About £25 of crap.
    Then spent about £8 in MrM on two YS baguettes, milkshakes and four packets of quorn sandwich meat. Also bought full price tuna and and something else. Thought receipts were in purse, so i will update once I come across them.

    Managed to find my receipts, but can't find a C*-*p receipt for the other day, and i can't for the life of me figure out what else other than milk that I bought so will have to just add £1

    So from 7th I've got HB £25.08, and £7.70 Morris*ns.
    Think the 8th was a NSD.
    The 9th was a £4.67 spend at M*rrisons
    Today was £41.00 odd at Tesco -£4.00 i handed back, plus £12.66 at L*dl included everything mentioned plus swing bin liners and bin bags (forgot I needed those).
    £1 some point on milk.

    So by my reckoning thats £88.11 to add:eek: plus a few pence as the Tesco shop needs checking, can't get up for receipt as cat on me.
    GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 Jul £134.25/£150 Aug £98.42/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month. One person vegan household with occasional visitors)

    £1.43 to add as shopping was £41.43 (have already deducted the £4.00). So SIG now needs amending to £162.38
