Just to report that thanks to Mr T I've exceeded my £10 target already..they'd had lovely sequinned box and photo frame sets reduced from £8 to £2 to have stuck one of those in my newly A la Queenie gift boxes I've just set up!

I had a chuckle at your "A la Queenie Gift Box" ... when I was [STRIKE]buying up[/STRIKE] investing in sale items the guy remarked on my goods, so I said, "They're for the gift cupboard"
He replied: "Gift cupboard? Blimey, I use a chair!":o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've come in at £38.71 for the month. I won't be shopping again i don't think.
£10 voucher from pigsback spent in boots
£6 savings on nappies - special offers plus money off vouchers
£2.50 - window cleaner didn't turn up due to bad weather
£13.86 taken from a giftcard (reward at Debenhams for spending on my storecard, only used in this type of event)
£3.89 plus £2.46 in multibuy savings at ASDA.
Most of this has appeared over the last week or so, as i didn't think i had done that well. I'm really pleased with my start to 2007.

Hi all,
Have to admit was completely pants at keeping track on the PMS challenge! So on totting up am very pleased.
Mr T plea to come back with an incentive £10.00
£5 boots voucher used against Xmas pressies
Boots freebie worth £5.99
Boots points to the value of £9.90 on loads of toiletries Total £30.89
In my defence m'ladies (and m'lords) have been using loads of storecupboard stuff, keeping a diary, menuplanning, given up smoking and batch freezing! Think I might have got a bit giddy with it all. Oh and I came in under £82 on the grocery challenge so not too disappointed.
Will try much harder next month I promise, and set a target.
Well done all
