Feeling more positive

Managed to have a reasonably frugal weekend. Spent less than a tenner on drinks at a wedding reception on Saturday. Think it helped that all those on our table were also new parents who couldn't face the idea of a hangover on Sunday morning! On Sunday and Monday we visited two great grandmas, two grandmas and two granddads which meant we were too busy to do any shopping. The only exposure to consumerism was at the petrol station where we spent the cost of a tank of petrol (£50), a weekend newspaper (£2) and a supermarket brand bottle of flavoured water (30p!)
