Aug 11: Summary

Train into work costs my £6.80 as per usual. I spent a further £4.29 on this chicken/bacon salad @ McDonalds. Not healthy, eh?

Aug 10: Summary

Grocery shopping only and that came out to £19.92. Threw away the bill already though. Also KFC at £4.29. Those are essentials, really.

Aug 9

I think I am going to drop the food thing now...
I only spent £13.00 playing pool and £14.99 on a new scratching post for the cat. Both luxuries!

I did notice that I got a two pack of romaine lettuce for 99p a week or two and it's now gone up to £1.19. Not good.
