    I'd like to join in please! :)

    I'm going to stick with £20 this week. That should be plenty - even though I need an ink cartridge for the printer. :(

    I know I'm going to have to get petrol this week, but I'm not including that, as there's no way I can get to work without the car (public transport being a nightmare!), and this challenge is for the non-essential extras?

    Thanks,

    Raychee
