    What is it they say about the best laid plans?...My hiccoughs are minor compared to some, & my Best Wishes go to those who are struggling with Life's Trials just now.x



    No wonder I've been putting off updating my spends :o I don't really want to say but must admit to getting through £373:75 through August. A quick calculation has said it leaves under £6 a day if I'm to stay on budget _pale_ My one saving grace is I have got some bits for :rudolf: in that little lot..actually some of it was spent on gifts, so we're not so greedy as it first looks :D

    FAiled dismally to keep track, thats two months in a row. So I think I will give the challenge a miss this month, and put my head around some of the things i need to achieve before I come back on board. Goodluck to everyone else though.
