    It's definitely a low energy time of year!

  • Today at work was naff. Tomorrow is a new day. Temp still above zero which is good. Just plodding along. Have had a big splurge on calpol and nurofen this week (😷) so shopping budget is taking a hammering but hopefully still a small saving this week when I reset the budget (🤞)

  • Oh and I sold an item on vinted and have posted it today. Hopefully I've done all the right things. Time will tell. £5 to the pot if so.

  • I got to rest day with £2.30 left in the food budget. Not bad considering how much Calpol and nurofen I've bought but not brilliant either. Ah well. Least it wasn't over budget. New budget underway as of yesterday

    Well done for making it to the end of your week with money left, also not easy if everyone is feeling grotty as it is easy to spend money on quick foods you fancy rather than sticking to the food that was planned.  I hope everyone feels better soon.
