    Where did that week go? I can't believe it's been over a week since I last posted.

    It has been a good week though and not much money spending has been happening. I perhaps bought too many foodie treats for myself (mainly chocolate) so need to stop this. Not only bad for my purse but for my ever expanding waist line as well.

    Today I have been grocery shopping and only spent £30. Cupboards are pretty well stocked so I shouldn't need to do a top up shop for at least another week. There were no yellow sticker bargains to be had that were any good for us but I did pick up a few good deals.

    I am still looking to find another £13 to pay towards the credit card to try and make it down to £750 before next payday which is in 3 weeks. I know this might not sound a lot but I skimmed so much on the budget at the beginning of the month that there is very little room for manoeuvre. I think it is possible but I'm going to have to get strict with myself :o

    There is plenty to keep me busy at home without venturing to the shops. I got given a huge bag of apples which I want to turn in to crumbes. I'm thinking of going blackberry picking this weekend so may make some apple and blackberry crumbles too. I have all the ingredients needed to make pizza dough and ingredients for a cake. Also loads of house cleaning and tidying and also gardening to be done too :(. I will make sure there is plenty of time to get on MSE and start reading your diaries :)

    Daisy -have you checked to see if you have any Mr T vouchers? They are out now. That could be a way of getting the money you would have spent on shopping and using that to pay off the £13.:money:
