Onto the second load of washing, first lot hung up to dry. Did big garden birdwatch hour this morning.
Checked bank accounts (little frugal tip I do this daily before I even get out of bed). Walked into town to the bakers and back, more for something to do than anything else £3.70 spent. Will be getting a takeaway later just for me as ds is at his dad's.
Life sometimes that's my weekly shopping bill for 2!!!! Sometimes it's £60. My total shopping budget with us both at home full time is £500, that's food, wine, toiletries, cleaning stuff, some stationery type bits - whatever comes in a shopping bag or any takeaway type treat basically. I could make it less than this and have had to in the past when we've been really skint but this allows us things like more fish 🐟 (bloody expensive). Pre-lockdown it would have been £400 (a bit more if ds takes packed lunches) but the counterpoint is I'm not spending on food when travelling (can't reclaim staff canteen spends), we're not doing any eating out and I'm not paying for school dinners.
How many loads of washing do you think you do each week? I had this conversation with Dh earlier as I was trying to work out how much fabric softener I need for a month, he reckons 4 loads a day which seems a lot!
I think that I 'thought' my spend was around £600 a month, but I'd never actually gone through everything and done the sums, the reality in Jan was £1036.26p makes me 
Sometimes though I buy things because it's easy - you know when there's no time to mash potatoes or whatever and I've come to the decision that its ok, if I didn't work I'd spend less, but we'd have less coming in so it's swings and roundabouts really.
We do have an enormous chest freezer in the shed which means that Dh we tend to Chuck stuff in there and not really know what we've got in, this also leads to ds2 cooking a whole pizza or 20 chicken nuggets for lunch every day.
With school lunches I would top up dd2's account with £50 on payday, dd1 takes lunch in and ds2 gets £3 each day for lunches so that's probably £150 ish a month maybe a bit less.
Can't remember who was getting a new kitchen - but when we did as part of our extension last year we ended up spending 50% more than we originally budgeted, partly down to appliances which cost over £5k including sink, taps etc. And also quartz worktops which cost around the same. Underfloor heating I wouldn't recommend as it just doesn't really heat the room well enough, our space is large 9m x 4.5m so this could be why though.
I hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend, awful weather here, roads are flooded so can't get anywhere, not that I have plans!
