    Thanks PeachPickle. I think I like the sound of the Magic TShirt... more to hide bits than create but still sounds a good thing!
    Yes CAFC... Don't stay away will you?even if you dont' post your spends and just pop on to say hi.. :grouphug:

    Today's spends are £1. Have decided to put another £4 away in my drawer for a daily 'fix' of a can of coke (55p) and bag of salt and vinegar McCoys (45p).

    Tomorrow is team lunch. I totally forgot about it. Can't say no as we've got 2 new joiners to the team.... I should be able to get it out of £5 but I was really hoping to be able to save it this week... ho hum :rolleyes:

    No spend so far for me today - and I remembered lunch! Swimming after work but that's paid for already due to budgeted for "monthly swim ticket". OH has been to Tesco, so just home to sleep after work and no opportunity to spend! :-)

    Ok, if you insist :D I've had the statements through from barclaycard about my charges and it worked out as about £1k in total. I already owe them £2k or thereabouts, so I thought I'd send them a cheeky little letter saying I'd give them £1k as F&F settlement and not bother reclaiming. They sent me one back saying they'd looked into my charges and said they'd take £950 and it would be marked as fully settled. Gotta yank back my matched betting profits and the last of my savings but I'll be paying off £2k this week :D:D:D I'll post my new figures and that properly when it's all done, but for now


    woooohoooooooo!
