Have just been signed off for another two weeks "initially"! Ok so no visits to shop, so spending severely curtailed (very good) but am feeling absolutely fed up and depressed. I may moan about school, but can't afford to be away like this!Resolution:

Hi everyone
Sorry haven't been on for couple of days - haven't been in the house to go on the computer - been that busy but still not spending!!!!!!
My challenge officially ended on Sunday as I got paid yesterday. Have now updated my signature so you can see how I did - extremely pleased I must say!! Can't quite believe it actually.
Keep going everyone it's totally worth it!!:j

Well done Cheletastic! Amazing - I wonder which month I would be able to do this in though... summer is coming and it's too hard - maybe in Autumn/Winter I could xMFW #185

(EDITED)Have just read your sig "money earned and saved" WOW!!!!!Resolution:
