Today i did my food shop. It came to £52.82 which is more than normal but i intend this to last more than normal. Im hoping it can last the whole of next week, until the following Tuesday, which is 16th of September so 10 days instead of the usual 7 days.

I have booked my car in today at the garage for next week for its MOT. So fingers crossed that nothing too costly crops up.

Last night i went to see Jimmy Carr with my daughter, that was a little treat i bought earlier in the year. It wasn't bad, but it was much the same material that he is famous for and you see online, which is expected, at least i can say i have seen him live now.
I spent a bit of money on a few things last night. Fuel for the car £20.01 which i will take out of my budget for the month as this fuel will also be used to get to work in my normal day to day life.
But i also bought some fast food for me and my daughter as i was very hungry and didnt have time to eat before leaving the house straight after work, this came to £16.83. I also paid £3.50 for parking in a car park near the theatre. So the £16.83 and £3.50 = £20.33 in total i will take out of my Savings/Emergency account as this is money i wouldnt have spent in my usual day to day living expenses. So my Savings/emergency account balance now stands at £797.69
