Evening Kittiej and everyone
I am really happy with what I achieved in January so have upped my targets for February as I am at work for a full month and have calculated my potential savings on that and have updated my signature accordingly.
Some impressive amounts saved. :T:T I wonder if the sandwich shops have noticed? lol
See you all on the February thread.
