    Thank you lovelies. I feel better today. Like I have actually achieved! Have sorted the play room and or together the shelving unit that has been sitting there for months. Trying to get things a bit more liveable!

    Ok, so slight change but I think its worked out much the same......

    Went shopping with A friend who put my shopping with theirs and wouldnt let me pay, so I got coffee instead, which was £6.46

    I got:

    Milk £1.50
    Porridge £0.75
    Mince £3.30 large one so I dont need the lentils
    Tomatoes 0.64 should have been 0.32
    Peppers £1.15
    Satsumas £1.49 should be £1.00

    So in theory I would have spent £6.76

    So basically I would have spent a very similar amount on shopping as I did on coffee. So not much better off really. 30p which will go towards something!
