    How's everyone else doing?

    Crap. Keep buying chocolate.

    But I guess work is crap, and I'm packing up to move soon - so it's not that surprising.

    And probably that time of the month... ;)

    great to see this thread revived.:j
    I so need to STOP spending now so I'm back in too.

    I can manage well at cutting out the small unnecessaries but lately have been convicing myself that big things are very necessary:mad:

    I have emptied my purse of all but a nice new £10 note (too nice to use:rotfl: ) if any of it is left at the end of the week I will pay off my currently huge:mad: overdraft!

    I am pledging to only buy groceries, petrol and pay the bills for a month.
    We have enough booze left over from Christmas to keep me happy:beer:

    The £10 a week will only be used for incidentals or socialising if I really have too!

    PS It would be great to hear from the unnecesary old timers!:rotfl:
