Well, feeling a wee bit deprived, but no spend again for me! Had a cuppa soup (no time to make anything tis morning - hence the reason for my feeling of deprivation - cuppa soup was yuk!) & a slice of wholewheat bread, then a plum, a satsuma & a banana. Oh, well, at least my diet and money saving is on track...

Week 2! Good start. Back at work, which is my downfall, not preparing before I go leading to buying anything and everything! Have arranged to have lunch with a mate again on Wednesday, but will hopefully be fairly cheap and it' a 'night out' for me. Ha ha! And if I manage to spend nothing on lunch the other days won't be so bad!

Wed 9th - £9.65 It was lunch out!!! And since I only had one piece of toast this morning by 2pm I was hungry!!!
