Time to catch up!
I had to buy a new water dish for the beardie - But it's pet spends so allowed. Also had to buy some buggos and it was time to stock up on both wet & dry dog food.
I bought the bf a video game for his birthday (his b'day was 2 months ago but he's only just decided what he wanted) This is out of the gift fund, so I'm allowing it.
Otherwise its just been groceries.
Only naughty spend was cakes for SIL visit.
