would have been NSD on Tuesday too if I hadn't had a puncture and had to spend £10 to have it repaired

Look on the bright side - it would have been a much more expensive unscheduled spend if they hadn't been able to repair it !!!

Second top up shop of the week came to £13.05, taking my total so far to £58/£200. Spend was a little higher than expected due to some decent YS deals - but the proper grocery shop is coming on Friday. Today should be a NSD.

Just over a third of my target spent now, should,t need anything more till late next week - fingers crossed

Managed a few NSDs but just added £13.08 to my signature - milk, fruit, bread and eggs, and a KFC for dd. Obviously brought her up badly as she chose junk food over a HM meal. She claimed she was too hungry to wait.

Another NSD planned for today. Putting off shopping for basics for another day as I need to buy some fresh bits for dinner tomorrow so thought I might as well do it all on one day rather than everyday like I am tempted to do.
I have noticed that I am really starting to pay attention to what I need as opposed to just picking things up.

well raided the freezer last night, and found a tub of aubergine, spinach and lentil curry i made before xmas, which i low fat so ideal for me at the moment as trying to loose weight. My children don't like it though so they will be having tuna and pasta with salad which is what they requested so NSD today for me.
i did use the last of my frozen peas in my risotto yesterday i use them a fair bit so that is a small thing i will need to get although i will wait as long as i can as i don't need them at the moment.
