    Good morning all

    I’m declaring at £133.49, after a late spend by DH of £8.89. (We went to the football on Wednesday. He bought stuff to make wraps and then scored a large lump of YS Wensleydale with cranberries. Yum!)

    For anyone who’s keeping track and thinking “hang on, your spends this month don’t add up!” it is because of the coins we collect/save. We spent £105.80 but we were left with £22.20 in the purse to roll forward to December. That means £27.69 change was received in 1p, 2p, 5p and £2 coins. Seriously we must have had 13 x £2 coins this month in change. I know, last Sunday I received 4.

    To sum up, I’m declaring at £133.49/£155.69. See you in December.
