    This week I have spent £41.41. Which was £20 for the cleaner, £2 subs for band rehearsal and £19.41 on groceries.

    BUT, I sold a ticket to a comedy show for £21 and had a refund from Scottish Power of £79.63 which makes £100.63.

    So I'm actually £59.22 up on the week!!! -£59.22 spent against £50 target.:money::j

    Does that make me purple then?? :D:T
