  • Took my lunch to work on Mon, Tue and Wed, woohoo! Got paid on Friday and I managed to shuffle some leftover money around to my saving pots, have updated the totals in my opening post.

    Spends for the last week in Sep were:
    • Mon – NSD.
    • Tue – NSD.
    • Wed – NSD.
    • Thu – Groceries = £7.84/Entertainment = £12.20.
    • Fri – Entertainment = £11.24.
    • Sat – Entertainment = £14.25.

    Sep’s progress on my overall goals was as follows:
    • Spend a maximum of £200 on groceries – spent £184.66.
    • Spend a maximum of £100 on entertainment/socialising – spent £86.36.
    • Have 15 NSDs – had 13 NSDs.
    • Take lunch to work 11 out of the 12 days I'll be there – hit the 11 days.
    • Make an extra £120 – only made £120.
    • Read 5 books – read 5 books.

    For Oct I’d like to:
    • Spend a maximum of £350 on groceries and entertainment/socialising (I’m going away to a caravan for 3 nights with my sister and niece but it shouldn’t be expensive as we’ll take food/snacks).
    • Have 15 NSDs.
    • Take lunch to work 11 out of the 12 days I’ll be there.
    • Make an extra £124.

    Just waiting for the supermarket to open then I need to nip down and get the shopping for the week before doing a batch of cooking for the little one’s meals.
