    Wd CL what a great start to the week.

    Nichlette sorry to hear about your friend, it must be difficult for you but sounds like you're doing a great job.

    Been catching up with some friends today so we splurged on cakes and bacon and mushroom baguettes for lunch, yummy. Had a lovely time but feel sick now lol.

    Thanks everyone, just got a text from my friend, his doctor has put him back on his meds again so hopefully he will pick up a bit soon. I haven't left the house (oh dear) so I've had another no spend day, that still leaves me with a whole £3.50 til Friday.

    Be positive Jen, keep comping, hopefully you'll win something soon :).

    Well done on your ISA total Maria, I can't wait until my savings aren't for paying off debt.
    Finally bought a home
