Wow that's a good amount of shopping for that amount!

Enjoy your lunch.

Thanks beanie and Dolly.  OH had roast beef and I had a trio of roasts which was beef, turkey and pork, so yummy.  £40 for both of us including drink and tip.

Dolly - me, my brother and sister have agreed to stick to a budget of £20ish each for kids and in-laws and £30ish for siblings and parents which keeps costs under control

Other spends for today were £53.75 on petrol and £18.26 on food shopping.  Once we had a proper look through the freezer and cupboards, there was actually lots to be a basis for meals so only really needed fruit, veg, yoghurt and bread.

I'm gonna have a wee look through what I've got in and do a meal plan. 

It will all change in January - new year new me and all that.

Your roast sounds yummy I'm very jealous! Well done on making out the LISA £50 is totally doable

I'll join you in new year new me Dolly.  I really need to lose weight, it's been steadily creeping up over the last few years.  My diet could definitely be healthier and although I do enjoy running, I can be quite hit and miss with it.

98p moved to LISA holding fund from cashback, only £49.02 to go I

Not much to report from today, went out for a meal with my friend after work, £30 spent.  Luckily I have budgeted a generous amount for social stuff in December.

Woooo! Every penny helps.

You'll be mortgage free before you know it Dolly

So work continues to be grim but just need to get through today and then I have 3 days off

Tuesday was a NSD, yesterday I needed to get more coffee to take into work and also got a pizza for tea and chocolate - £11.80 spent.

£1.31 has been added to the LISA holding fund - £47.71 to go.

Aw I cannot wait!

Will be worth all the hard work.

Go you!
