Paid loads of bills (well, installments)
Phoned A&L and sorted out problem they had created switching wrong account
Only topped my mobile up with £5 instead of £10 - and see how far I can stretch that
Worked out how many bus trips I need to make for work this month and calculated that it would not be a saving to buy the usual bus pass - so will pay as I go
Got Iceland extra mature cheddar cheaper than Co-op not as tasty - but at least I tried

Thanks for reminding us it's the small steps that count!:D
Today I will:
1. See what we have in the cupboards for dinner rather than getting home late and buying takeaway
2. Plan meals for the rest of the week based on what we have.
3. Plan for next week too and buy online with mysupermarket.com to stop me impulse buying (delivery tues/wed is cheapest)
4. check bank online to make sure i'm on track
5. Start a £2 pot!

I don't think i have done anything slightly money saving at all today. I had a bit of a big spend day but it was all for DS2 who will be 1 tomorrow.
I spent:
£2.50 on banners, £2.50 on a big helium balloon, £3.60 on sweets from Farmfoods (i.e loads), £2 on 24 packs of crisps, and £2.40 on 3 pizzas
On the plus side, i have made Hartleys suger free jelly in both strawberry and orange and i will be making crispy cakes and pancakes tomorrow so it should balance itself out.
I did get the chance to do online banking
piggy clicks

made dinner from meal planner
