    I'm sorry about posting the 'how much' thread :(

    No reason to be - some of us confess our sins(:A), but don't do this challenge...

    Well, not sure how I managed to stay ahead last week:j , maybe not popping into Mr T's on the way home helped - I can never come out with just what I need! Anyway, this week I'm going to try to spend no more than £5 as I'm also trying the month with no unnecessary spending challenge. Gulp! So, low target and I'll try to stick with it.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
