    After being majorily depressed over my single-hood and really feeling the loneliness this week, I sort of majorily blew my challenge on Friday, spent £9.08 going to local wmc and covering babysitting charges.:o

    Thanks ZDT, This sounds bad but in some ways wish I was dealing with the flood situations that i am surrounded by, then dealing with being single. At least being flooded i would have had something to deal with, instead I have been in personal competion with Ea Beck (I live on the side of it that DIDN'T bust it banks):o

    :grouphug: for you penny, please don't feel bad about spending a little over. The key is to just carry on with it next week

    Ive just done my weekly shop and spent £18 on weekly shop things and £8 on a tshirt. I seem to have unsuspectingly bought some kind of alien being disguised as a tshirt though. It makes it seem as though I have *actual* curves and not just lumpy lumps... :confused: And I have to say (apologies in advance) it makes the girls look pretty amazing too! Next week I'll be buying it in black, I can tell you and they'll have to cut it off me when I die :rotfl:

    Blind us not with your fancy talk - send photos! ;)

    Now remember, they'll have to be the "experiment" and "control" photos.

    Photo of "the girls" with the T-shirt on, and photos with the T-shirt off...

    I'm sure we can tell you how amazing "the girls" are... ;)
