Already spend: £28.85 (I opened a refill pack of coffee this morning so that's £2.00 up straight away!)
Still to spend: 31.15
Today's menu:
Breakfast on toast: beans (12p) on toast (paid), apple juice (paid)
Lunch: Tuna (61p) mayo (4p) with carrot batons (6p), tomatoes (free), fruit (free)
(half of the tuna mayo will do for another meal b ut I have included the whole cost here)
Dinner: stepping out of breadline for a very major and happy celebration with my guests.
Spent so far today: 83p - sounds very little but it doesn't count dinner!
By the end of today I will be half way through the first month of Breadline (allowing for last weekend away) and I have spent about half. Looking good!
Of things I have paid for, I still have oil, butter, jam, marmalade, cheese, oats, potatoes and milk - oh, and coffee. Most of these should last out the month or nearly so. However, working towards a date that is not the end of the month is slightly doing my head in so I might just take off two day's worth of money instead. That would work better for me which is what it is all about. It might seem very inflexible and in a way it is, but within that there is some leaway! As long as it isn't all that often.
Oh - one more thing - I'm losing weight! Yay!
Looks like you're doing really well on the spending -and losing weight as well! Win win!
ReplyDeleteIt's going well at the moment, yes. Fingers crossed for the longer term! :-)
