    Hi everyone. I'm on 2/15 today please Cathy. I did need to get a couple of essentials today (Milk, squash, sandwich ham, weetabix and toilet roll) but resisted any non essentials/snacks etc. I'm counting that as I have to shop out of convenience stores right now so have to do lots of small shops. I'll count any days where i only buy what I would consider essential. Is that within the rules?

    LivingInTheBlack, the way this thread has always been run is that the rules are really up to each person - some people are hardcore and count pretty much every expense, but others exclude essential expenses, such as fuel, exercise and basic groceries, or planned/budgeted spending. I don't count bus and train fares and basic groceries, but I do include some food spending. So, it's your choice

    Not one today - ordered the last few bits to get our house in order, then curbing my spending to an absolute minimum. Being at home more has opened OH's eyes to the fact we need more storage - which I've been saying for ages :joy:
    SSDD23, are you building cupboards? ... Sounds very practical!
