June Challenges 3

How are you getting on with your June challenges ? 

The first one for us was to eat more out of the garden and we did eat some frozen courgettes, use some frozen pumpkin in muffins and picked lots of lettuce and herbs. I also made a rhubarb and raspberry crumble. We are just waiting for the next lot of strawberries to ripen, but the weekend was not very sunny so that slowed them down.

My second one was to have some 'no-spend' days and I have done well over the past week. I bought petrol on Monday, nothing on Tuesday, nothing on Wednesday, nothing on Thursday, the groceries on Friday, nothing on Saturday and nothing on Sunday, making a total of 5 'no spend' days last week.

The final challenge to spend as little as possible on the 'prom' is still pending, as although MasterShoestring has now finished his exams he is helping his sister to pack up all her stuff ready to move next weekend so he hasn't given a thought to the prom, apart from collecting his ticket. I only hope he isn't going to leave things to the last minute as that can get expensive !!
