Another shop pop today, to top up the salad for the pets. This should technically come out of the pet fund, but I sometimes have some salad too, so it comes out the grocery pot.Oct Pot BalancesGroceries £127.26/£400

Time for an update!I always get de-railed when I have a holiday, it's hard to get back to routine.I went to visit my brother for his birthday, we'd planned a trip to Thorpe Park. Entry, hotels, meals and petrol came to just over £300. I did have a little saved, but I've only just started my Holiday Fund, so this was drained.
Groceries so far have cost about £565. It's been an expensive month as it was time to top up both dry and wet dog food, we usually get a couple of months supply at a time. I think the bf is getting one last shop tonight before he takes over the groceries for Nov (we alternate months).
I ended up with £3.05 left in the Pet fund, and £10 left for me Pin money. So those are wins.
I'm just waiting on the final grocery amount before seeing whats left to pop into savings, should be at least £200 to put away.
Pay day was Monday, to time to restock the pots.
