Hi all, quite a few people posting again which is good. I really love this thread, even when I'm not posting, I always have a look on to see what's going on - lots of motivation.
Today I have:
All meals from stores
Went to Asda for a few bits I couldn't get at Aldi, and stuck to my list of 4 items - and I was hungry when I went (yeah, small victory)
Prepared all lunches for tomorrow
Found 5p roadkill on carpark - will be going into my sealed pot
Still to check postcode lottery
Need to check bank
Need to update my spending app - have been lax on this since the weekend
No heating on today

My plans are:
- Think happy thoughts so it doesn't rain - there's two loads of washing out on the line

- [STRIKE]Return the expensive dress I don't really *need*[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Pay £20 cash from my purse in to the bank to reduce temptation[/STRIKE] Paid in £25. Beware the glint from my halo

- Cancel my phone insurance and look online for a cheaper version. Paying £15 a month to insure a phone is madness. Aiming for around a fiver.
- Use up leftover chorizo to make tasty jambalaya for dinner.
The happy thoughts didn't work - we had our first thunder storm in ages :rotfl: All the washing is now hanging up inside. Bah!
I've cancelled my direct debit and made my jambalaya (SO TASTY!) and there's enough leftover for two more meals. I haven't found a new insurance company for my phone but I'm considering if I really need it.
I'm currently plodding through my Adpoints to up my Nectar balance.0 - Think happy thoughts so it doesn't rain - there's two loads of washing out on the line
