    Hi all
    Every penny a prisoner is going to be my mantra for the New year, great idea and so easy to remember.
    So if you are in a shop aisle where the chocolate is and hear someone muttering "every penny a prisoner" it will be me talking myself out of an impluse buy.

    Chocolate is never an impulse buy - it's just medication in the wrong aisle....it's an essential like fuel and other meds, which is why you don't get the same level of deals as you do on fruit etc.
    :D

    And it's important to reward the behaviour you want to see in others....appreciating his gift would be an important way to reward such good behaviour....;)

    Hello freebyfifty, :wave:

    Hi everybody,

    I'm going to join your thread if I may. I've kept seeing the words "Every Penny's A Prisoner" in other people's signatures but I didn't realise it was a thread name, you could say the penny has dropped.

    So I've subscribed to the thread and as you can see from my signature I have some debt to pay off in the year ahead, so I'll pop in when I make payments and hopefully we can encourage each other along.

    Merry Christmas :santa2:
