    thanks for sharing your update

    i'm 5ish months in now and can relate to what you're saying
    for the first couple of months i was frightened of spending any money at all, and felt guilty whenever i spent anything. i have calmed down a bit now and am just sensible rather than obsessed. i consider every penny

    i am liking the cashbox idea - sales in Staples are going to go up :D

    all the best

    I also do the cashbox plan, although mine is actually labled envelopes in a box file - so nice to have the car tax etc when it's due and not panicing at that point! - It almost makes me feel rich!!:beer:
