    Hello everyone

    I came in at £ 231.70 for January which was quite bad as I had aimed for £175. In fairness I had my son staying with us for a week and we have also bought lots of things which means next month's should hopefully be a lot less!

    Thanks to everyone for your brilliant support and tips.

    I haven't been on much recently as I started new job with very long hours...
