Oh silly, silly me. I started this on 1st January after casually reviewing my Mr T online order history. I forgot to post on here that I was taking part:rotfl:

Anyway, I am working on £80 unfortunately my tablet is playing up a little so wont alter the typeface and colour, no matter, i will sort my sig out.

Have to say £80 may prove to be artificially low as I really want to try to clear some of the older stuff from my freezer.

ok a spend of £35 on what I call essential bits such as a sack of potatoes orange juice milk bread well you get the idea it makes me £366/£330 with one week an two days to go dd2 and ds went down and worked off a list getting all the things we needed till Thurs/Fri plus hopefully longer oh shopping thurs/fri so don't know how much it will cost but if I work on a Christmas spend anything lower is a bonus hate being out of action I can see oh going over board last time I was out of action he brought mussels in white wine sauce and 6 months down the line they were still sat in freezer dd2 found some cheesecakes in sains for 50p so phoned and I said get them and ds found some Airwick air freshener for 33p so I told him to get 3 but at least they phoned first quite impressed no extra bottles of pop or sweets plus £8 ish for a prescription for oh ds in 20 so is old enough to get stuff like that but that's medical so not included

Spent £7.76 on a top up shop today, got milk, stock pots, 2 melons, bananas, YS cherries, ys blueberries and a ys bag of babyleaf salad.

Got £5.11 left in my purse, need to get a pack of chicken quarters and some tarragon tomorrow but otherwise shouldn't need anything till Monday next week!

£32.57 spent today which together with the earlier bulk purchase of cat food (£24) took my weekly total to £56.57 this week. Just about under budget so £3.43 syphoned off to the saving account together with an extra £10 as I didn't use the whole of my petrol budget. I'm staying in the house as much as possible as it's cold and I'm supposed to be studying so not using the car much.

Quick update. Small spend of £13.77 today on fruit and other needed items. Hoping for an NSD tomorrow and then I'll probably have to buy something on Thursday (last day of challenge) for Dinner.

£5.60 spent on fruit and a newspaper plus £4.40 for my bus fare so a grand total of £10 spent today.

£10 15 spent today, total of £90.30 - just got £9.70 to last until the end of the month - going to be tight.

I must start making some cakes and biscuits as DH looks forward to something sweet after lunch and I've just run out of biscuits. Had a look in the teapot and I think there's enough to soak some dried fruit overnight to make a fruit loaf tomorrow. Mary Berry recipe.
