I'm at about the £50 mark of the budget (I actually try and make it more £100 than £120) ;so doing OK. Do need milk, and bread flour though. Tried my atta flour for rolls and although nice, weren't quite the same. Will maybe try half and half, see if that works.GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £76.30/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

Morning all!Still no spends here, running quite low on a couple of things but should be able to squeeze through to Sunday’s big shop. I am picking up an Olio order later, with some mixed veg and a packet of parsley that I can make into soup, some finest range buttermilk pancakes and a platter of mixed fruit, which I’ll probably have for breakfast tomorrow. It has been mostly baguettes on there all week, so nice to get something fresh.
Have a great day everyoneDebt Free Journey started 21.05.201710 -
