Mr T kindly sent me a £15 off £60 spend and although I didn't really need anything I managed to use it by stocking up on tins, kitchen roll and toilet roll.

Does anyone use Plenty kitchen roll? I bought the "big one" a couple of days ago but when the roll gets damp the smell is vile!

I do! Normally only the small rolls though so have never noticed it.
I'm now a convert to Regina Blitz so will use this in future, once my last two rolls of Plenty have gone.

I have some spends to reoprt £49.82 (I think) at Asd* online, a L*dl shop to which the receipt i've mislaid, so guesstimating at around £5. Total according to YNAB is £139.03 minus the L*dl shop!

No grocery spends for me yesterday but cannot call it a NSD because I had to buy a birthday gift for one of the little boys I look after.

So far so within budget. Not doing so well in NSDs though, this month is a bit unpredictable, we are going away for a few days from Saturday (separate budget), there are still a few building expenses, a lot of bits and pieces and not much organisation. So I am not putting myself under any pressure to reach a specific number of NSDs.

Hi.

Yesterday was a nsd for us as will today be one. Can't believe how quick the month is going.

In hospital tomorrow for bloods to see if chemo will go ahead next week.

Meals sorted for next week and it's half term.

£88.28/£500
Nsd. 6/10

needed a top up spend today but first since I started the challenge so not feeling too bad about that will change sig once I have worked out the receipts
