    Evening all :hello:


    We had an NSD here today.


    Just for a change we didn't have a roast dinner. DH fancied pasta so we had lasagne, salad and garlic bread.


    Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

    DD and BF arrived yesterday for weekend and Mr T order was seriously increased for salad stuff and girl food etc.

    So £66.25 today rather than the £25 first draft. £41 extra for a weekend visit of DD, WOW. She is such a melon piggy. Do not really care!

    Have fun all

    Melon is 69p as of today ar MrT aswell ... shame !!

    Think we have reached our the end of July's food budget already. It's no problem as we have marrows coming from the allotment in abundance - good job I like a marrow!

    Only managed 1 NSD over the weekend as decided to treat ourselves to some strawberries and icecream from the farm shop on the campsite we were staying on. Haven't had icecream for ages so really enjoyed it. Only bought a 500ml tub but still enough left for another couple of puddings for both of us.

    Hoping for another NSD today - which will take me to 13/20 if I manage it.

    Huge apologies everyone for not being on here much this month to record budgets and welcome newcomers and returners. RL has been very hectic - two jobs, trying to sort DS1 as he enters post-16 education fun(!) and DS2 leaving primary school and all that that entails....... Will try harder for August GC which I see is up now.


    Looking forward to doing better next month.
