Sorry, I don't know why the font is so large - must have gremlins!

My dishwasher has broken, so my daughters (11 and 8) now have to do the washing up "manually" as it was their job to load and unload it daily. I would just like to say that I am incredibly proud of them as they have settled into doing this every evening, and clean up the kitchen after themselves brilliantly. They have never had to do this before - and although like all kids try to get out of it do a good job.

They've done well

And noticed on your signature, you're aiming for weight loss this year~ go for it, it can be done! Just take it one week at a time

Hello everyone, could I possibly join this challenge please if it's not too late? I have already started planning my meals better but it would definately help me to do some financial figures and stick to them!

Definitely not too late
Off to add you to the list now - before you change your mind (and I head to bed)

Great, thanks very much, will update you when I have done my maths! I have just looked at mortgages because our fixed rate is coming to an end in April and I can save about £60 a month :jas long as rates don't go up before then!

Can't remember if I said this or not, but thanks Cheryl for adding the Whoopsies formulae onto the spreadsheet in the "other" spends bit. It's been really helpful for me

Doh - I had saved some posts that I wanted to reply to and I lost them! Apologies for not replying to posts but I don't hold out much hope of going back and catch up as this thread is hurtling along at full speed these days. <insert appropriate replies here> ;)

I love dipping in and out though - keeps me on the straight and narrow budget-wise!

Today was my 4th spending day of the year and I'm doing ok so far. The fridge is full and I could easily last till next month without buying more food but I will probably add a little more fresh stuff.

Hope everyone is ok and hugs to anyone who isn't.
