First months savings

So this is the first month I have not bought anything that I don't need, overall spending for this month is £400.00 for food and petrol,  I think it's fantastic as my usual spend would be average £1400 per month. The funny thing is I'm mot sure what I used to buy, lots of things that I did not need, clothes, coffees, cakes, shoes... money just disappeared.
My aim is to save enough money to buy new kitchen and do all the building works required on our home. Today I have ordered all the units and worktops as discount offers were ending today. I am so pleased as our original quote was again reduced by 22.5% which meant saving of £1120.00 so happy!

We have also decided to buy our own appliances, handles and hinges as these items purchased from this supplier were very expensive and you can get exactly the same much cheaper, in case of handles at 50% cheaper.
The kitchen would not be delivered for 6 months as we won't need it until June because building works will need to be completed first and really None of it will start until I have better understanding what future holds for my mother. However it's lovely to take my mind  of things and plan my kitchen.

My mothers test results tomorrow...

I ate lots of cake today none of it made me feel any better, just huge and bloated.... no self control here I'm afraid, I'm so rubbish at it, especially when it comes to home made chocolate brownies.

Strangely I have not missed shops.... hmm....my husband started taking me more seriously now as initially he thought it was one of my little phases. Still it was lovely to pay in full for our kitchen today and not take get ourselves in debt over it....
