    £5.20 today for milk topup and salad for DS's food tech creation tomorrow :)

    Also got 0% alcohol beer (different budget) but the self checkout thingy still insists on "approval needed" :rotfl: staff said it might have a tiny trace of alcohol in it so they had to check. Sadly I am in the definitely over 25 bracket!

    Still nothing out the grocery budget this week, woohoo! (My dining out budget is seperate and we hit it tonight, am STUFFED! but had a voucher!)

    Staying with rellies this weekend so really just 7 or 8 days to hold on. My cupboards and freezer are STILL heaving however. May not up it back to £100 just yet. I would like another cupboard back to put things in that are sitting on the countertops....

    Need a few basics today - we have guests for the weekend. Will get in a few beers for the menfolk, but that will come under entertainment.

    We'll be eating healthily as my aunt and I are running a 10k on Sunday morning. The freezer and store cupboards will provide��

    Morning all, just dipping in .... have been MIA this month, although just catching up with receipts, so I suspect the totals are horrendous. I've also realised that this month goes on for far longer than I thought!

    And yes, I know it ends on the 30th! Normally I go to the nearest weekend as that's when I then stock up ... however, having looked at the calendar ... that will mean the 30th, rather than about the 25th, which it was last month.

    Ah well .... looks like I shall have to be inventive with the tonnes of rhubarb I currently have growing!
