    Hi everyone

    Spends today so far are:

    Birthday card 75p and emery boards 99p = £1.74, leaving me with £5.22 at the moment.

    Hopefully I won't be spending anything else today, but won't declare quite yet just in case :).

    Afternoon All

    Spent £2 at pound land and £2 at work on bits in the last coupe of days, so I'm declaring at £4.60 green, yay.
    Today is payday and I got a bonus, so I'm feeling flush so went to buy a ridiculous anount of clothes! I deserved them though and I have paid some off my debt and some towards our hols in Devon, so also feeling virtuous.

    Can I pledge £20 next week Pointy? Got lottery to pay and thinking about a trip to the cinema tomorrow.

    Enjoy the weekend all
    Debt free 11/05/11!
