    Final numbers for the week 

    Week 4 
    £250 in to PBs 
    £250 in to mort OPs
    Total over 4 weeks £2000

    I decluttered 2 items ,a pile of magazines and one item of clothing ,not very good 
    But i had 7 NSDs

    The make £14 a day challenge went very badly this week totaling only £12.81 overall but added to my previous numbers its still up overall at £454.93 over the 4 weeks so still ahead of the targets

    Food budget also stayed on track

    The make £14 a day challenge this week was at £28.06 but i have added another £13.51 ebxy sale plus another £5 which makes £46.57 so far this week with another four days to go ,very happy with that .

    Food budget was going really well but i have spoilt it by buying lots of treats yesterday .I now have nothing left in the food budget until Sunday .I have lots in the freezer so lets see how that one goes
