    Dinah... you kinda have too now cos you've made shrimpy do it too... so you can't really chicken out and leave poor shrimps all alone!

    ...wondering whether I should up to £20 a month too, but after the disaster in May I dunno if I dare really!

    There's a few newbies joinin which is nice :)

    Sorry for double post :D

    Is it cheating that I have deliberately made sure my eBay stuff ends Monday cos that's the 1st of June?? :D

    I must do better in June, I must do better in June...

    I'm tempted to go for £20 a day in June too... will think about it over the weekend. Too tired to function properly just now.

    Thanks for starting the thread sweetpeas!

    £113.35 from DWP for interview expenses - you have to make a special claim - been waiting for some of them since April and wasn't sure they would pay up! I still have 2 more lots to claim - so this should incentivise me to get my claim in!
    £9.30 in interest on my stoozing accounts
    £10 on a scratch card withdrawal should hit my account next week

    £132.65 to start me off :j
