    Spent the day with my parents today which was nice! Took my mum into town so I paid £1.60 for parking. Used another Pukka teabag this evening too. I could be finished with them next week! 

    At this point I am drinking the tea because I don’t want to drink the hot chocolate 😂

    I spent £2.20 on a can of Poppi from the shop. I wanted a fizzy drink that wasn’t sparkling water. One hot chocolate sachet used: vanilla flavour, 5/10, it was fine.

    I could realistically finish the Pukka night time tea next week! If I hadn’t set myself this challenge they would still be hanging around in the kitchen so I’m pretty happy 😊

    NSD. I actually had a cup of tea after I had posted last night, and another one this evening. So I’m down to one remaining tea bag!! 🥳 I cannot wait until that horrid tea is out of my life, although I might need a day’s break before having the last one 🤢

    £7.84 spent today at the Co-Op on a top up shop. I forgot to get dairy free spread so I’ll have to go back tomorrow 😭 I’m really getting through the bread and spread because I’m having eggs or beans on toast for lunch almost every day.

    No more progress on hot drinks. I’ve got a box of books I need to send off to World of Books so I must do that this week. That’ll get me £11.96 and it will go into my ISA/car fund.
