    I've been naughty too, hence why i haven't posted in May at all. My postings were turning into confessions of guilt every day and not good reading for anyone.

    Hope you're all doing okay though, does seem the thread has slowed down a bit.

    Time for a resurrection?!?!? I'm willing to try a bit harder.

    I did bring packet pasta n sauce today from home (59p from shopping budget) thought it might taste terrible with only water and only done in micro but it was quite passable.... brought youghurt and snacks from home. But it's easy when you've just done a monthly shop. It's hard otherwise....

    what do you think folks? Fletch? Red Squirrel? Mouche? Jlynne? Jo? Bobba?

    Hello everyone

    I agree, let's ressurrect this nonsense. I've been completely rubbish without my daily confession.

    Have to say though, I've not gone back to my £4.20 days EVERY day so at least that's something.

    So, June -

    homemade sandwiches and ham, M&S crisps, juice & white choc cookie £2.90

    My OH took me out for lunch today, so technically a NSL for me too...........

    Does that still count?
