    Budget's still holding up well.

    As of end of today my budget is £179.59, but I've only spent £99.20. I know I've used a bit from long-term stock that I still need to account for, but I'd be surprised if that came to another £5.

  • Eek I am a few quid over my limit of £280 already, but hopefully I shouldn't need much more this week. Hoping my Dad can take me to do the first shop of the month at Aldi, if we've got a mutual day off work.

  • Figured out that actually I have about £20 left, instead of being a few quid over, as I had over accounted for a bulk buy of coffee which I will split the cost of over several months. I will keep signature as is til I have worked out a rough idea of adjusted spends.
