    Wow TurnaroundSue, you are interpreting this challenge more strictly than me if you thought twice about buying a hungry child a sausage roll!

    I spent £4.50 on icecreams today, for my children plus two of their friends.

    I did think twice, but I don't want this challenge to impact negatively on my children, they get few enough treats as it is and we were having a lovely outing so I bought them anyway.

    It was the first weekend in two months when I haven't had a huge deadline hanging over me and I enjoyed it so much - did some long overdue housework and today went on a walk up Box Hill in the sunshine.

    ......that's why I have so much money in my account - didn't realise that I could buy the kids little treats now and then ...... thought they had to suffer also :rotfl: :rotfl:
