    spend day for me today spent £28:34 inc loo rolls and £4 in saver stamps for xmas, (£17 saved already) but this is in my GC budget, but still a spend day as i only count them if i dont spend a single penny,

    so that means for 11 days this month so far i havent spent any money, unthinkable this time last year
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • Hi yesterday was a NSD but today filled the car with petrol - the joy :-)
