Quick check in here. Not much to report stayed in all day so no money spent ��. I have been eyeing up a nice lamp for the next room though but haven't cracked yet! This nesting sensation and being frugal arn't meant for each other. I'll keep cleaning to keep it at bay!

Hey diary quick check in while I put my feet up for 5.
Just back from the food shop just a small top up shop £38 in aldi and I spend £3 on card and a scalpel for the decorating. That's the food/petrol account pretty much wiped out until I get paid on the 15th. I think the food should last bar bread and milk and I may need to put a little petrol in the car depending on how much I plan to do next week but will budget that out of my pocket money if it's needed.
Sofa bed gone and DP has been up painting all day before he heads to work about 3 I'm going to get DS down for a nap and give him a hand for a bit then tonight I will have a early pj night and watch a chic flic.emergency fund:£179/ £1000 Uniform/car fund:£
