Evening all

I am sad to get back to reality tomorrow after 10 days.

Welcome to the newbies. Pie I have a separate account for spends for the month with no OD so I try to only carry that card with. It usually stops any spare of the moment spending.

I have only just got back to the city this afternoon so no spends for me so far this week. Long may it continue :-)

:wave: Hello is it OK to rejoin, I was doing so well in 2011 and then I had no internet access for a few weeks and everything went to pot.

I am already behind as I am not at all ready for January and it has already started :eek: doesn't bode well, my plan for today is staying in, playing games with the children, catching up with MSE & signing up for a few challenges.

For the week I pledge no more than £5 on unbudgeted spends.

Update £0/£5, 3 NSDs
