Hi ,

I hope you are all having a lovely bank holiday. I am at work:( . Still I will have the next 3 days off so can't complain:j:j

My no-spend challenge went a bit pear-shaped yesterday.:o I spent the following on " not alloweds"

Lunch £3.37
chocolate £.50
Mag £1.99

Husband spent £17 on haircut BUT he needed it . He was beginning to look like an ageing Hippy. Not that there is anything wrong with ageing hippies;) .

I can also foresee that some more alcohol will be purchased as it is our 12th wedding anniversary on Easter Sunday and DS1 is 10 on Monday :eek:. so quite a lot to celebrate:)

This penny pinching is working wonders though as my debt is NOW beginning to go down.. not massively ... but hey its a start.:T

Wishing you all a happy & peaceful Easter;)
