I haven't been online much as my pc is broken. I'm still doing really well though. It's been a real eye opener for me.

An update for December.
I've been looking for a full length winter coat for some time, and a local department store had a very nice one on half-price sale (£125, reduced from £250 - but it is a Pierre Cardin coat, so should last many years). I also picked up a scarf at the same time (£17.50), as I'm having some problems with my neck muscles (I'm on anti-inflammatories). Unfortunately, the store wasn't HOF, so I had to pay with cash. I did find a very nice high neck, thick cardigan for use at home in HOF (£38.50, reduced from £55), so December has turned into an expensive month - though I'm still within my overall budget. Having uploaded these into Consumer Pulse, plus a couple of items for my wife, I've got £3 back, which I've taken into account in the 'HOF' summary.
Cash–£148.50/150 spent
House Of Fraser Vouchers – £71.50/122
M&S Vouchers – £50/50
Total spend for 2012 – £270 (from a budget of £322)
Merry Christmas everyone :xmassign:
