    Well, I've spent £14.89 against my target of £15.00 so far this week. Only problem is that an old work colleague is having leaving drinks tonight before she goes to Australia for a year.

    It would be rude of me not to go along for at least one, so I'll probably pop in briefly then make my excuses.

    So I will overspend this week, but hopefully not by much.
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done

    I still at £25 left when I finished work on Friday so I am declaring £35/£60 for the week. The rest went on lunch, coffee at the canteen and dressdown day.

    New thread started here. Please add any results and pledges to the new thread or I am likely to miss them.
