  • I think Fridays and Saturdays are the only permissible days for heavy drinking unless you are on holiday! My hungover state allowed the cold to take over my body so I am still being punished by snot :(

    Feeling much better been out tonight but stayed within acceptable tollerances and I can stay in bed tomorrow as no work woop. I don't think I deserve any sympathy either as it is self inflicted! At least I didn't spend much tonight.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  • Hi everyone

    I am happy to report a spend of £3.15 only this week on a Starbucks Mocha! Am very pleased to have stayed in my budget. Worked out today that I've saved £64.60 so far on not smoking for 10 days so far! Jippee!!

    Would like to set my challenge for next week as £5.00 again. Thanx so much!

    Cheers

  • Hi all,

    Finished the week with £6.85 still left from my £30. So if my calculations are right thats me green with a total spend of £23.15. Sounds like everyone had a good end to the week. Right off to think about my target for this week.
