I have attached a bit of paper on which I write the date and the amount added and the total once the new has gone in; that way I shouldnt lose track (as long as I remember to keep writing it down that is!)

Hi DB,
If you do, can you keep a tab on how much you pay towards your CC bill, at the end of the day it all goes towards the grand total at the end of the challenge

Hi Everyone,
£4 in my pot today. It took me 45mins on the telephone regarding sorting out my online self assesment tax :eek: Now have to wait for a letter. This year I will do it in June. Think I said that last year:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
My savings haven't been so good up to now but hopefully once January is over things will pick up.
Kas Are you still on that naughty chair?:rotfl::rotfl:
Try and keep well everyone

Cheers hun, there is just one hiccup........ I just am not that sort of person I am afraid
, I go for the defrost it and if it looks, smells and tastes OK it is OK rule instead, even with dates on I would probably chance it 
BUT fortunately I have a stomach of iron so have only ever once got ill from food, and that wasn't cooked by me! I count myself lucky, I know some people that are always getting ill from food.
