    ZTD ... have you had a no spend day today? Just wondered how you were getting along with the challenge.

    No spend today. I will buy petrol tomorrow - the amber light of imminent doom came on today.

    In a further DFW mode:

    I've just put 4l of home made yoghurt into the fridge.
    I had one of my pre-prepared HM "ready meals".
    I'm defrosting a lump of meat for some more batch cooking.

    I'll see how this challenge goes, but since I will be moving at some stage - I will probably have a load of unbudgeted spends.

    Yes, we need all details in triplicate so we can deceide if we can let you go.
    Most likely not as dont know if it would be safe to let ZTD run the ythread while you are sunning yourself in the med with Prince William.

    It would not be safe. The penances for misbehaviour would be especially stringent... :D :T

    CAFCGirl, i think you should definitely go. you've been working hard and saving hard and you deserve to let your "new" hair down. It's a holiday Martin would approve of!

    and BeanieLou's right ... ZTD can take care of us whilst you're away!!;)

    ZTD ... shall we call you King or would you prefer Queenie also?:p
