Hi, back after a week's ski holiday and a disorganised first few days back. No-spend is not going well 
We'll just gloss over the holiday, I think. A few unnecessary spends crept in here and there, but I tried to have yummy bread and cheese from the supermarket rather than on-piste lunches usually. Will possibly achieve some savings back from the holiday - have a complaint to put in about the travel which I hope they might offer a bit of a refund for, and I'm (ahem) adding to my ebay stash a now superseded pair of ski boots.
Got back and had a mountain of washing to do, and DH and DS were living in a moderate pigsty so I spent my first day back stemming the tide of laundry, clutter and such like. Took DS out to let DH catch up with work Sunday so had £10 lunch out, £2.20 parking, and then as he napped in his buggy I hit the end-of-sale rails in John Lewis and Monsoon. (£250 - four great day dresses for work and a leather jacket. Going to mainly rely on dresses for work now because being short they suit me so much better than separates, also will jazz up with jewellery, and try to get round to wearing make-up once in a while.)
My cleaner has bought us washing liquid and conditioner from Costco - at least three months worth I estimate, for £15. And I got a call last night from my friend who has found a home for some rock-climbing stuff and the person wants to give me £50 for it - fantastic!
I have failed to meal plan this week but I knew there was a good range of stuff in the order which arrived yesterday evening. However yesterday afternoon DH still took it upon himself to go to Waitrose by the station on the way to pick up DS and bought more stuff to make, of all things, sushi.
I think this is my main problem at the moment, I can't control the "domestic accounts" while DH is also taking a full part in cooking and so on. I wouldn't at all want to change his attitude, it's great, but I can only ever meal-plan for about 4/5 days of the week as he just won't listen to "tonight it's chicken stew with that that and that veg" - he'll feel overly constrained.
OK, so my targets for the rest of Jan are:
:: find that template someone mentioned to catalogue what's in the freezer/cupboards. Make a rolling meal plan with DH so he's agreed how much of it he will stick to.
:: put up my 'ebay stash' for sale (will then freecycle if they don't sell).
:: set up that Sunday baking slot so I regain control of breakfast
:: Go for a run twice a week at work at lunchtime, do each of my fitness videos one other night of the week, go swimming all together at the weekend.
:: No takeaways.
:: Wine on Fridays only.
Recap of wins:
:: have saved lots of reusable wrapping paper and gift bags and they are in an easily accessible place.
:: kept a few things back from Christmas for re-gifting
:: still have good soups in the freezer
:: have started chitting potatoes so looking ahead to potentially being self-sufficient from about May-August.
:: will almost certainly be self-sufficient in garlic and shallots (haven't had to buy any since July, and what I have left that I grew will last until the next crop comes up!)
:: potty training DS is sort of working - he's now seeming to have accidents for attention. Negligible savings so far because nappies included in nursery fees.
