Just sneaking on at work, day is not going to plan at all. Had to drive like the clappers to get to Work, so burnt loads of fuel, was ten minutes late for work so will Have to stay ten mins later and have physio at 6 and have a 50
Min journey if traffic is good. Just made everyone coffee and had a snide remark as to them not having time to make one, meaning they're surprised I have as I was late! Hate everyone today grrree

Hi
Just wanted to say I've really enjoyed your diary so far and I've subscribed 😊
You've really made me think I need to look at my budget. £10 a week is amazing! I'm normally about £60/70 and I live with my hubby and his kids who are 13 and 16. Xx

Thanks my lovely. I never thought I could do it, even when I've tried to budget before and I've written a list of what I thought we'd need it came out at £50pw. I'm just building meals from what we have and not eating for the sake of it and gobbling up food that can be used else where, or letting it go off!

Hey mummytogirls! How are you my dear, need to catch up with your goings on! And thank you for your annoyance, I appreciate it x

Oooh eBay is up to £30 with lots of watchers, so fingers crossed! I've come up with a complicated budget for the next few months, which is changeable due to whether OH is home or not. Am going to balance transfer the higher balance card to a different card I have which is pre approved for 0% but only up to a small amount, fees are 5% though. Have £35 credit in there though from my payment this month (complicated I know) which should cover it. I need to do that before the 21st which is when the DD would come out for the other card, but I need to do it after the tax return money hits!!!! Gosh even I'm getting confused. Fingers crossed it all ties in nicely. If I can do as I want to, by overpaying etc. I should have it paid off in 17 months.... Ideally if I can work it if like it paid by the end of next year, but we shall see! Seems so far away, feel sick I've racked up so much debt for absolutely nothing, clothes and presents for OH and the children is literally hat I've spent it on

So far shopping list for next week reads like this. Not sure we'll Need much else to be honest! Poss marg I guess...and maybe ham but not essential....
Biscuits 24
Biscuits 32
Porridge 75
Bread 105
Milk 200
Bananas 228
Pasta 29
Pitta 39p
Chickpeas 30p
Beans 23p
Marg 69p
Ham 1.39

£9.93

Actually have decided to not have ham. We can have cheese, chickpea tuna, peanut butter, honey, jam carrot and cucumber or egg in sandwiches. I would rather spend the £1.39 and an extra 6p on mince and put it in the freezer for another week. Dinners this week have been a bit all over the place, everyone has eaten well but we definitely haven't stuck to the meal plan. Small ones are at MiL for dinner so I will just have soup I think. Not sure we will actually use the 3 loaves of bread to be honest this week, I've stopped having toast as no marmite, which is good really, 9 slices of bread a day is a bit much for anyone!!!!!!! :eek: think I may have an addiction lol.

Hope your day got better!

List looks good x

Hi Missymoo.

I have come to visit after you posted on my diary. I did go and check out your old diary which was the one where you announced you were pregnant and i was due on the friday (he was two weeks late). How time flies by.There were so many names from the past on there.

I shall look forward to catching up.
