    wow your braces must be doing the job then that is great..

    i don't think i will count electric as if it was a direct debit i wouldn't have counted it.

    that sounds like a good plan mm.
    i am hoping to get some more vouchers from online towards dd christmas she is the only one i really buy for i am cutting back this xmas on other people anyway
    i eat up my mums on x mas day so i don;t need to spend loads on food etc x mas is usually reasonable

    Evening Guys

    Oh wow Jen thats is bloomin fantastic! Fingers crossed it all goes into your bank on Friday :beer:

    Thats great Lilmissmup, must be a great feeling knowing its doing its job! :T

    Well have just counted all food in freezer and cupboard, and I reckon I have enough dinners for 30 days :eek: Now thats shocking!!!!!!

    Im hoping I will only need to buy bread, milk and eggs maybe every week, and then Cheese once this month. And some chicken for the cats. My food bill should be very small this month indeed. :o
