oops...I need to un-declare my 6 for yesterday, needed milk so pop to the shop and £8 spent (I realise that's a lot of milk...cough cough!)

I'm still on 5 but today should be number 6

Goodness,that is a lot of milk! :rotfl:

I'll leave your total at #6 then,for the time being.

PS I say this a lot,but maybe having some dried milk powder in would help,when that's the only item needed.It stops any temptations.

I have also before commented about what a good idea that is...just never got round to getting some!

Think I managed a couple of NSDs while I was away last week, but need to update my spreadsheets before I can confirm (not done since 21st July!)

Doubt I'll have (m)any more this month. Had an operation on my wrist on Monday (biiiiig plate and plenty of pins inserted), and have been told I can't do anything with my right hand for minimum of 6 weeks :eek:

That means I'm back on ready meals for the foreseeable future, so am likely to be out food shopping almost every day

That's one of the reasons I don't include milk as a spend. Realistically few of us buy it unless we need it. If milk is counted as an allowable spend (like petrol) then don't have the temptation of 'oh well, I've broken my NSD with milk, so I'll get X,Y,Z as well now I'm here'

Ow Cheryl, that sounds really painful. Can anyone batch cook you some meals that could be frozen in portions? Perhaps you could amend your rules a little in light of the circumstances with your wrist?
