Good and Bad

I've been writing down what I spend. I'm not trying to stick to the budget at the moment, just track where I'm frittering the money. Today I spent £3.60 on a hot chocolate in the new cafe in Tesco and took a picture like a blogger.

I've been continuing with that for three weeks now and I'm happy that I'm doing that. After a few months, I'll look over the records and see if there is a pattern and whether I can change some of my spending habits. And sometimes I don't buy things because I'd have to write them down - and that has to be a win. There are still stupid impulse purchases, which I'm not currently admitting to outside my journal, but they're fewer and I'm hoping that it will make me think about things in a different way. 

On the other hand, I've got over twenty pound of potatoes that need using up, and they aren't part of Sunday's meal (cleared with DH) and bear and DH will be eating non-potato things all this week at least. I'm going to eat a lot of mash, I can tell. I'll share any inspired meals. 

Hugs and good health to all.
