Well that was a great weekend - I spent £7.50 in total which was for coffee and cake for me & OH sitting in the sun yesterday all the rest of he weekend we ate & drank in our motor home.
Tonight we will eat anything left in the fridge!! Then I'm going to have a long bath & watch telly. A lazy evening following a relaxing weekend ready to face reality tomorrow! Then I need to update spreadsheets etc.

Didn't spend a single penny again yesterday!!!

Took delivery of my Approved Food order and it was amazing I am soooo pleased with it.

Tonight I will do a small shop for some quorn mince, chunks and sausages, vegetables and dog food to last me until at least Monday.

I am so motivated right now but I have been in the past then blown it!!

debbiedebt

Small shop was £48 so not very small at all!!! £11 on quorn which will last quite while. Dog food £6, 3 boxes cereal half price £3.50, fruit & veg, cooked chicken reduced from £6.55 to £2.29 which I will take off carcass and make quite a few meals with, large jar coffee £2.20, tea bags £2.19, cheese £4, beans on offer so not a lot to show for nearly £50.

yes,big amount of money but you did a shop which will last for quite a while,just think how many meals you can squeeze out
(and chicken carcass for soup or stock-yum)
have you seen the rubber chicken threads?

I haven't logged on for ages even though I am an avid reader of MSE.

I am just steadily chipping away but I must say I'm finding it harder to make ends meet and less left over for debt repayment.

I also still struggle with my grocery budget.

I really will log in more regularly!!!

Today I have had a reasonable day money wise. I met a friend for lunch and my half of the bill was £8 - not too bad! To offset that I didn't do any food shopping and we're having a hotchpotch dinner of freezer odds & ends.

Petrol £25.

Total spend for today was £33.

I've just checked my balances and I've got a bit of a challenging time financially this month. I don't think I'll be able to overpay much of the cards. I've got £40 in my purse and I'm going to try and make this last until the 27th June.

Can I do it?

I am ridiculously excited I've got 2 stars:j:j:j
