    I am soooo glad I signed up for this challenge - it's been a tricky couple of months financially post-Christmas and have younger son's birthday this month (mine are like chalk and cheese - the elder one would be happy with a fiver but this one is gadget and label mad - at 9!!!!). He needs some moneysavingexpert lessons ASAP - we are trying! Was toying with idea of not overpaying so much this month but if I don't it'll just get eaten up with something else. I can't spend it twice so please put me down for £425 for March #111
