    😟 I’ve hardly eaten anything so far, just all the wrong things..sigh. 2 chunky tiger bread toast slices with butter and jam, a leftover donut and a packet of crisps 😬

    That was breakfast and lunch, not all at once 😁 As I can’t possibly manage on the calories left we are having Cajun chicken wraps and chips and I’ll try to be better tomorrow 😬

  • @jwil 🤣 I’m never going to master healthy eating, I’m already thinking about snacks and my tea isn’t cooked yet 😬

  • Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️📚🍫
    I wonder if it will stop raining today? 🌧 
    Today is not an NSD as I bulk buy TP and thought I would get some in so we are sorted until the new year. The last time I ordered was May, so it does last a while. I also ordered treats to fill up the treat drawer for October. These will be paid off on Thursday, rather than shuffling savings back and forth. Malteser buttons and Turkish delight this time, if you were wondering 🍫
    I may also order heating oil if I get time today. I’m dreading the price of that! I’ve allocated £250 in my Oct budget for 500 litres, but it may be more. We need to be ready for when the heating needs to be on, it’s been noticeably chilly for a few days. I will clear everything off on Thursday and then depending on the oil price I should have about £40 a week spends.
    I hope you all have tremendous Tuesdays full of all good things 🧁🍰☕️

  • Happy Tuesday WW !  I've been thinking i may put the heating on soon but holding out till October (not long now).  I'm off to the office at lunchtime and will be working late.  At least it means i won't eat loads as i'm taking my own tea!

    It’s so chilly isn’t it? I really want to crack and put it on, but will hold fast a tiny bit longer. Our boiler is ancient (it has its own room in the garage 🤣) and not very efficient. Our radiators are all different and there’s no such thing as a thermostat, the heating is either on or it’s off! The heating oil has come in at £275, so a bit dearer than expected and £100 dearer than last years prices 🙄 So October will be £37 per week spending money. I have bought or budgeted what I need for October, so there’s no excuse to overspend…although you know me 😖
    I hope you survive the office.

    Morning all. Just had a little bike ride, am really nervous since having hip replacement.

    loving the idea of those treats WW 🙂

    thats  a lot of money for oil! We have gas CH, will try and hold on as long as we can to put on.  DH playing at the allotment, so glad we have that to gro as much as we can.

    have a good day all
