    I'll take the risk. TELL ME! please? ;)

    DFW update. After my second (third?) lightbulb moment yesterday / sunday, I am keeping "clean". Today spent 95p on soup at work. Plus two croissants (already paid for them so free now). That's it so far and I plan it to stay this way. I have food at home for dinner if I decide to eat dinner.

    Yay, a 95p day! and that's off my work card actually. This means that I am £1.05 in credit for any other day as my daily work food budget is set at £2. yay!

    Hiya, I haven't been around for ages but have recently been haunting this boards again and yesterday I came across your very impressive post about taking DFW seriously & going all-out for it. Good for you - and I think you have put it into words for lots of people by the sound of it.
    Anyway I checked back and compared with your original SOA and I reckon you have not only not increased your debt (or if you have, you've got back on top of it) but you've paid off some of what you had last year - about £200 which I guestimate is about 1/20th of the total, am I right?
    If so I'm sending a virtual pat on the back! ;)
    Reading your 'eats' for today... I think it was you who didn't eat enough sometimes? Pleeeeease don't go there again! And do you remember the cheapy baguettes at Tesco in the evening? I think they're about 10p now, at least where I live.
    Now I haven't been around for absolutely ages (got a job, am on leave today) so I may well have mis-remembered; if so just ignore me!
    Anyway, I'm cheering you on!

    Oh no...it'll take much more begging than that...

    In a really short skirt would help too... ;) :whistle:
