I’m so glad you averted a cucumber crisis @goldfinches. Just barely. Whew! 

@GSDMum I’m also happy to read you don’t have Covid. I’ve been feeling really run down the past couple days and I’m wondering if something is hitting me too. Phooey. Keep washing your hands, people!!

Thank you! This Delta variant appears to have a few different symptoms. Eg I understand the loss of taste/smell doesn't appear to happen with Delta. Take special care of yourself at this time x

I have been a bit off plan due to a trip away visiting parents and a trip to get Dd from uni.  But I got a  click and collect yesterday for £83.

Thankyou @JingsMyBucket I felt quite proud of my specialist knowledge of the salad vegetable section in M*rks which is never kept stocked up due to a perennial shortage of staff.

Had to buy milk and yoghurt today as well as radishes, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, nectarines, olives and rosemary which came to £9.81 so my new total is £64.85/£120 which is a daily average spend of £4.32, whoops!

Went looking for a new large planter for the garden to rehome a plant which is way over due. Turns out JS are now residing in there too. Finished filling our trolley with YS stuff. They averaged out at less than £1 per item, happy with that. On target for end of the month
(Didn't find the pot I'm after)

Finally can update my spends and im afraid its not pretty! Officially at £192.76/£200 - With just £7.24 to go and a bare fridge and freezer (we are running it down?!); i think i need some yellow sticker items!

Im going to spend a little time today totting up a few V.cheap meals in the hope it will see us through to next thursday! However i will 100% treat us to a chippy dinner next friday then else my hub will divorce me! That will obviously come from next months grocery spends! 

Declaring a NSD day! Its got to be done!

@GSDMum glad you have come through the worst of it and are starting to feel better - based on your symptoms I am so surprised that the test was negative but maybe it had moved from your nose/throat by then or something - I feel like I've heard there can be false negatives, but hey, at least you are feeling better.

@JingsMyBucket rest up and take of yourself and hydrate!!

I'm on £23.20 remaining for rest of month
