    A bit muddled with where I'm at as I've been away but hey ho. #13 putting £5 in the Piggy pot today, making a total of £50 thus far.  
      To those who are given much, much is expected
        £2025 in 2025 = £680.60
          Food Budget £180/9.30.

                    Hi all,

                    Another fiver in the pot for me today bringing my total up to £65. Slow and steady wins the race. I now work on a Friday hence the late posting.

                    Well done to everyone for their totals - looking good! Updated to here.
