Must be something to do with me being toomeanto buy the programs from prper shops!!Pleased to hear that there has been some discussion about knickers as well as serious spending cuts - but relationship wise ... well... winners & loosers it seems. Love and hugs to all of you who need them... as for you two who are getting enough hugs (etc) already... well.. enjoy!Old Pops & I are plodding on!! I'm still not spending & he thinks I'm getting increasingly mean in my old age!Must confess to one magazine though when 'puter was off .. what a waste of money that was!Next challenge within a challenge is to say no to diet coke!(I'm sure that there are lots of other things that go with duty free vodka!)Take care allPippoPS Ciara - did you meet a sexy frenchman then?

    No offense taken at all! I'm very proud of myself & feel so much more confident & less angry than I did! Martin is partly responsible as the "journey" started with debt, then smoking & drinking & finally (but most tough!) the weight. I did debate posting my before & after photos but with so many trolls & some quite venemous people on here have been reluctant to. I know I'm no oil painting & dont really need someone pointing it out!! I may post them when I get to a size 12!!

    Hey everyone,

    That really is amazing fishface, well done. Hope your clothes fetch lots on ebay!

    I haven't spent anything today, just tried to call up to pay my £2k as my money has gone back into my account from betfair, but the office was closed :( Will have to do it tomorrow :)

    And it's bad for you... There was this thread about quitting...

    Well, first bad spend for some time for me.

    Spent 87p on a Frijj limited edition chocolate brownie flavoured milkshake. Awful and sickly.

    And 95p on a bottle of dandelion and burdock. Much nicer.
