    Excellent work for February guys....however, there is a gripe I feel I must raise.



    In this hypothetical house that we all have together, who feels the need to squeeze from the middle of the toothpaste rather than the bottom? This means there is more toothpaste squeezed into the bottom and we have to buy more toothpaste!

    Also, the odd sock on the radiator in the hall. Please claim it and put it in the drawer.

    Other than this, I'm very pleased to be living with such a wonderful group of people.
    DFW - DEBT FREEEEEE!

    Total - 10762/10762 :)

    Every silver lining has its cloud.

    I couldn't face another salad for my lunch today so was just going to buy a sandwich BUT I ran back in the house and got a tin of spaghetti shapes (I don't like beans), 2 slices of bread and some butter. Nice warm meal for lunch and it's cost about 50p!

    Well done :T I haven't bought my lunch for work now since the end of January some time - I used to buy it every day. I get up 10 mins earlier to sort something out every morning now. I can't say there haven't been days when I've wavered a bit, but I can't bear the thought of buying something on the day now. It's like a challenge to see how long I can manage :)
