    The dog was excited to be going back to work. He couldn't wait to get in the office this morning. Fingers crossed he stays that way about it.

    A low spends day today. We popped to the big Tesco near work this morning to pick a couple of little bits up. £9 should be the only spends of the day though.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is toad in the hole and vegetables.

    The dog is at the vets tonight. We found a lump on his chest that we want checking out. Pretty sure it will be nothing to worry about but we want the experts opinion to put our minds at ease.
