Progress not Perfection

Time for a pewter tankard or a plastic cup!   I suspect you wouldn't get away with a plastic cup but you may get away with a tankard.  At least then it is "only" beer.

Arrrgh to the beer! Would a plastic beer tankard work for Mr SA, easier to grip because of the handle and won't smash into a zillion pieces if dropped.

Thank you for the link @pennywisepoundstupid. For now he's decided to switch to a small glass that will be easier for him to grip. It's the grip in his hands that's the issue. I was still finding bits of glass this morning!

Worked in the office until lunchtime and doing the afternoon shift from home. Looking forward to my day off tomorrow.

Stopped off at Lidl on the way home to pick up a free doughnut for Mr SA and the bread rolls I forgot yesterday. They didn't have any veg boxes at all today so glad I picked one up yesterday. 

A small Mr M delivery arrived about an hour ago. Still on track for a grocery budget underspend. It's the final week of the 4 week budget period and it's worked much better splitting the grocery budget into 4, it's made me more mindful of what I spend. 

Today's exercise has been walking to/from work and it's live resistance bands at 6.30.

Tonight's dinner is leftover butternut squash orzotto from Sunday. 

I was able to get down the stairs at work without any twinges in my ankle so hopefully this means it's better.

Do you include all groceries etc in your 4-weekly budget @Sun_Addict, or do you do a separate shop for bulk supplies like some do? I've been considering splitting mine into weekly amounts as I also think it may work better 🤔

It’s for everything - food, beer/wine, pet food, household and toiletries. The plan is to save whatever’s left for bulk purchases although I don’t tend to do too much of that unless there’s a really good deal on. I’ve got a cupboard full of Lid! stuff I’ve bought when the stuff I use regularly is on offer.

I think that is key @Sun_Addict picking up stuff you already use when it is on offer. I like Lid! single estate coffee and bulk bought when it was last on offer. The price now is about £1.20 per pack higher! Glad you have a day off tomorrow
