After a really good January challenge, I'm starting a new thread for February, I've really enjoyed the lunches challenge in January, saved lots of money and I'm sure lots of people like me have found the thread really useful and motivating, so I'd love to keep this going for another month.
Nottobadyet - hope you don't mind me starting this thread as this was your challenge.
