    Hi jenjade & well done for 3 in a row :D

    I def wouldnt count electric as that's an essential bill type thing ( i'm on same system) same as rent, council tax etc.


    Didnt have an NSD as I bought very cheap (£8.99 ) tv cabinet, milk, bread, sausage roll & cake...total spend £12.73.

    Tomorrow will be a NSD, I sure reckon as I have £1.60 in my purse & £1.64 in the bank :rolleyes: & dont get paid til friday.

    Everyone's doing so well, I love this challenge :D
