    Hi All

    Been months since I have been able to login and catch up. What happened!?!??! Work, work, work and away on the week ends as much as I could to escape and relax (no internet). Quite an ordeal, I am seeing the light at the end of tunnel. On the plus side, if I spend my time at work, I don't get a chance to spend any money shopping!

    How did I fare on my pledge, I did slip once (2 books - I was away had nothing and needed a litterature fix ) in June

    However I have not lately been reading, trouble concentrating due to this work thing going on but re-started today on my stock of backroom dusty books.

    Broke my objective again in Sep with a 50p purchase however interestingly discovered that OH likes the book as well; so reading it out loud for both of us (while OH cooks etc..).

    Completely dropped my MSE ways this year - Getting back and reworking my budget etc.. + challenges
