    HI, I was red again last week but only 30p over so not too bad. Can't increase my budget as I don't have any money to extend it with!! The 30p will have to come from somewhere else, oh well I'll try again for £6 this week please.

    NSD for me yesterday and so far today, just 5 more days to go!
    Debt free 11/05/11!

  • NSD for me too - but there is sooo much food in the house at the moment that I really have no excuse.

    Andy, may I be the first to introduce you to the DFW equivalent of the gameshow "a cuddly toy!" - the packed lunch. It sounds like a little thing, but it's the little things that add up. £2 a day becomes £10 a week etc. etc.

    I'm kind of forced to because my office is out of town and what few options there are a boring and rubbish! But it's a good DFW habit to get into.

    OK, I'll leave you alone now ;)
