Tried Lidl for my weekly shop as it closest to where I live. £52 not too bad but I think I prefer Aldi. Had not sweet potatoes so went Asda who also had none - will hunt some down tomorrow as they feature heavily in my planned weekly meals!
Spent further £7 in asda. Plan on trying to be frugal with the food shopping in Jan to get into good habits for this year!

This is my first night alcohol free since the 16th Dec when I finished work. Have drank over 3 crates of Red Stripe whilst I have been on holiday so I reckon it is time to dry out for a bit!

Been stupidly busy at work so not been updating. Weighed in Friday 15.5 1/4 so only 2 1/4 pound lost! Not amused as usually would get half a stone off in the first week. Reckon it is down ti going the gym as never usually lose anything when I first start going. Had a chippy tea and 6 cans of beer last night sulking - oops
Just trying to decide if I should go to Aldi and food shop, or paint the bannister
