    Afternoon all, and thanks dnms for the special mention. Its so nice to be the sole bloke among all you lovely ladies :-)

    On train home now after working away in the week. Not had a minute to myself this week, so haven't been able to post until this afternoon.

    Today I have/will
    Raided hotel room of its toiletries and tea/coffee/sugar before checking out
    Checked online banking
    Submitted expenses - came to over £400 in about 7 weeks!
    Lunch on expenses
    Charging phones on train
    Will check cupboards and fridge when I get in, and prepare shopping list for tomorrow

    Can't think of anything else for today. Had a NSD so far, so hopefully I won't need to buy anything when I get home.

    Hope everyone's had a good week.
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done
