Oh dear, spent 9.65 on essentials and unnecessary bits and bobs! Have now spent 31.34/100 in 6 days!!! This is a nightmare! Gotta learn some self control :mad:.

Oh well, at least the mighty Spurs are doing the business in Europe .

I know the feeling! I spent about £20 yesterday on junk food and now only have £150 for the rest of the month.
Its my TOTM, that's my excuse anyway!

First spends of the month totalled at £11.38! Not a bad start, I think 2 NSDs in the bag, as well!

Thursday was a NSD but spent £7.78 in T*sco and W8rose on Wednesday. Unplanned apart from more milk (how do we manage to use so much??) but timed it right and got lots of YS stuff, so saved £8.98. I couldn't resist the 10 bananas for 36p in Mr T, in spite of having got some the day before so I'll be eating a lot of bananas over the next week. I don't often buy cream but at 19p I figured out I'd work out how to use it later. Most of it went into a quiche and some onto a sponge pudding with a July 2014 best before date.

NewShadow and JIL, Thank you for the yoghurt and Cheese advice. I think I will try the flask option first as it's been stated, not much room in fridge.

Glad to hear sooo many of you have been doing really well.

I had to go into town yesterday and did end up buying stuff...like French cheese on offer, Ceramic cake tins on offer, YS burgers (already eaten at least). I won't be going near a shop for 5 days, so it's fridge and freezer and veg plot cooking for a few days. Starting with an NSD today. Still haven't udated my sig, must do that today, receipts are under my laptop, lol.

Welcome to all the newcomers and best of luck!

Hi All £12.60 spent today. It's my birthday and I wanted to do a party tea for my 5 year olds sake. He is very excited on my behalf. Nothing fancy & most of it will roll on into this weekend's food, drink & snacks.
I found another 5p on my way to the shops so put that and the other 5p towards a 20p bottle of basics lemonade. When you think of found money that way it's rather nice.
17 days to go for us this month & we have £7.33 per day to spend if you average out our remaining budget. Seems doable. But I do have 2 more birthdays in our family in that period.

Happy Birthday Bobarella

NSD today, didn't fancy going out so decided I can do without bread. Having egg and chips for lunch and pancakes for breakfast.
