    Jane, thankyou for your wonderful advice. Ex spendthrift here. I've been batch cooking the last few weeks and I estimate it's saving me about £100 a month. I'm also regularly saving money and building an emergency fund. I followed your budget planning, which really is a must if you want to get control of your finances. I took it further today and cancelled my £100 botox appointment. Ive got 2 frown lines between my brows which I hate as they remind me of a bad time in my life. So instead I went DIY and cut a fringe to hide them. It looks great!

      This is such a great comment!
      I haven’t been as successful this month in cooking at home as I usually am, entirely due to lack of properly planning ahead. Your post (and my shrinking bank balance) have woken me up and made me realize it’s time to get back into the kitchen!
      Fortunately I’m still within my budget for the month. Now I stand a better chance of staying that way.
