Glad you missed the traffic. It must be around 11 years since we were last in York too. More than an hour for us, probably around 2 hours, still not bad though. Since the start of Covid I’ve kept a decent stock of the essentials, I don’t let them run down now, learned my lesson there. I found the smaller shops had decent stock levels but a bit pricier than the bigger shops.

I'm definitely going to start just adding a couple of extra items to the weekly shop and make sure we stay stocked up with the essentials. 

Definitely going to the farm shop for some meat for the freezer next weekend. The garage freezer is looking a bit bare so probably time to start stocking that up again while we can.

We were in York for a few days last weekend. Stayed at a campsite 3 miles from the centre. Straight road into the centre. Loved every minute. So many independent shops and not many empty shops, a change from many city centres. Will definitely go back next year.x

Not a no spends day today. I need to order four tyres for the car to be fitted at the weekend. £251 has been paid to the car HP Loan.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores though. Crumpets for breakfast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner later is beef casserole in Yorkshire pudding made with the leftovers from yesterdays sunday dinner.

Today's jobs are:

• vacuuming the house
• dusting the house
• walking the dog

I managed to combine those last couple of lines there for a second and thought you were dusting the dog...!   

Thanks for the reminder that I needed to start building a shopping list for a stock-up shop too.

Probably still easier than walking the house 😄

It will be a no spends day today.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. It was cereals for breakfast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is cajun salmon with tomato and mozzarella tortellini and vegetables.

Today's jobs include:

• cleaning the kitchen
• load of washing (dried in the dryer today)
• walking the dog 

The weather is pretty miserable out this morning. We managed to walk the dog first thing before the heavy rain started. It wasn't only drizzling when we set off for work but it is now constant heavy rain and still so very dark outside.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is jerk pork chops with sweet potato wedges and vegetables.

Today's jobs include:

No point wasting it 😆 I’m rather heavy handed with spices, especially chilli and smoked paprika, I often get Mr SA and DD coughing if they come anywhere near the kitchen 😆

Those balances are continuing to come down nicely.
