    Hi everyone

    First post updated - shout at me if I've missed anyone!

    pp I hope you have a wonderful time, and lucky you getting to fly business class! Cruelly on the A380 on the way to South Africa, because I was on the top deck, you walk through first and business to get to the cattle class at the back, made it seem even worse! I was sooo envious of those great big seats! Hope you have an amazing time, what a great experience!

    Well done to everyone who came in green last week and welcome to the new joiners!

    I've started this week badly (as usual!), spending most of my budget today! Very annoying, I need to be controlled again! Ah well, in for the rest of the day now packing, only 13 days till I move, eek! And I don't have next weekend as I'm away camping for the night with friends! Need to get my @$$ in gear!!! :rotfl:

    Sun 20 May: £6.25 garden centre, £4.50 wine

    Total so far: £10.75 / £20


    Enjoy your Sunday evenings everyone!

    Hi, I have missed a week and need to get back on track. I dont want to spend any more than £25 this week. Didnt leave the house yesterday so that was a good start! Off in to town shortly to go to the library and I think I have a fine on my account so need to pay that off but shouldnt need to spend anything else.
