    There were loooooooads of YS items when I went out at lunchtime so I spent a little more than expected. Burgers and quiches - both of which freeze well, so I'll leave them in the freezer here at work and continue to run the one at home down.

    Down to £27.29 in my account (& 90 pence in my purse) to last 3 days after today - no more spends expected today. So that's £9.09 per day - easily do-able.

    I've no real plans for this weekend - and no money to do anything anyway!!

    We'll have a night in tonight and then we have a sports club meeting tomorrow. Other than that will just be chores indoors and wardrobe tackling - boring but gotta be done.

    Thanks neverending! Turned out to be quite hectic in the end!

    Payday has been and gone - the standard bills have been paid and I've had my sainsbury's delivery for the month. Fridge and cupboards are full - let's see how long it lasts.

    Been using lots of bits up from the freezer and cupboards & I didn't buy too much on my monthly shop so will continue to take packed lunches and use up the supplies.

    Today: breakfast - scrambled egg on toast, lunch - leftover shepherd's pie and fruit, dinner - cold meats, new potatoes and veg.

    Nothing much MSE related to report - just keeping on going. Now I've made the big changes I feel like I haven't made much progress but I have to remember that just keeping on going still counts.

    Breakfast - cereal, lunch - sandwich brought from home, dinner - sausages and mash.

    I'm currently trying to catch up on the 1% thread - I think this is a good way of breaking it up and a great way to look at it. Far less daunting than looking at a big scary number!
