So much for planning

wishusMy to do list is getting a bit troublesome what with wedding, convention budgeting, and event planning. I want Christmas off!
But let's face it... I'm a control freak.
I was pretty pleased with myself for getting the shopping in under budget this week with lots of filling meals planned. Then Neil wanted to cook me a meal on Saturday and came back from the shops with not only stuff for dinner, but loads of duplicates. This included a cooked chicken, when I was already defrosting one.
This now means extra careful planning to NOT waste food.
We're probably going to be sick of chicken this week, but I may not have time to shop next week so hopefully most of the veggies will last.
We're planning to spend more time together at weekends, including sharing shopping time together, but I am a little anxious. I know what we have in, I know where the bargains are. He thinks I undershop and thinks we'll run out of stuff. I think he's too impulsive , greedy and a shopping grump...but we have to learn to work and budget together.
I have a feeling I am just not chilled enough.
