    Skinty we dont have any choice.

    I have spent today chilling and doing housework. :j I've still got to mop the floors. Supermarket shop was £35 (£10 spent on travel) and I bought some yellow stickered herb plants to put in garden.

    hello my lovely, yes £5 was fine till the end of the week I finished spending it yesterday on crisps!

    I have plenty in my freezer and fruit too so I am not going without. I love having a no council tax month! and having a no ebay month means I can save extra - hurrah.

    I have done some housework, washed some clothes and line dried them. Just some work prep to do for the rest of the weekend.

    Hello Dolly,

    I am going to withdraw £10 today and hopefully make it last till payday. Now that I am not buying from ebay I am saving loads. I have to go to work for a meeting late this afternoon. Right now I am mowing the grass. I would like to finish most of it today. :j
