    Good morning. Please put me down for £10 this week. I did declare it in my earlier post but it hasn't been updated. Need to keep on the straight and narrow this week for sure.

    Good luck to everyone.

    Hi guys

    First post updated. Shout if I've missed something... :p (I've updated you now EC - obviously distracted myself partway through updating earlier!!!)

    NSD for challenge for me today as planned - got milk and mushrooms from the dregs of the food budget. That's me sorted until past mid-week now, although I will try and do my little monthly "stores" shop on Tuesday after work - hoping to remember to take in my tea so I don't have to rush home and then eat really late!

    Welsh Dreamer that's shocking! Was it someone trying to rob the place??! How awful, that poor woman.
    Well done Sammy246 on your low spend, you must be pleased!
    My bank account is the same wannabee_in_credit - virtually everything debits on 1st although paid on last day of month, so I have one day of feeling rich, and then it's all gone, hehe!

    Good Morning :)

    Welshdreamer - What a shocker.:eek: Hope the poor woman is okay. It must have been so frightening for her. And I hope the snow disappears soon, I hate the snow.

    Managed my first NSD of the week yesterday and hoping there will be many more to follow.

    Sunday - NSD :)
