    Hi all

    My last post was on Wednesday, but I've been keeping track of my spends :)

    Thursday was £2.10 on a birthday card and yesterday £1 on a bottle of coke, making £3.10 in total.

    So that's £6.35 - £3.10 = £3.25 left for the week and GREEN :D

    Am very pleased!

    Please put me down for £10 again next week Pointy.

    Thank you!
